What is BS EN 16720-1– Characterization of sludges about?
BS EN 16720-1 specifies a method for determining the flowability, as defined in CEN/TR 15463, of sludge by means of the extrusion tube apparatus.
This part of BS EN 16720-1 is applicable to sludge and sludge suspensions from:
- stormwater handling
- urban wastewater collecting systems
- urban wastewater treatment plants
- plants treating industrial wastewater similar to urban wastewater (as defined in Directive 91/271/EEC)
- water supply treatment plants
This method is also applicable to sludge and sludge suspensions of other origins.
Who is BS EN 16720-1– Characterization of sludges for?
BS EN 16720-1 on Characterization of sludges is relevant to:
- Chemical Engineer
- Researchers and scientists
- Microbiologists
Why should you use BS EN 16720-1– Characterization of sludges?
Characterization of sludges from forestry and agriculture have a long history of application, such as paper, board, and various chemicals and materials.
BS EN 16720-1 defines a method for determining the flowability of sludge (Flowability index, Fi) by means of an extrusion tube apparatus.
BS EN 16720-1 procedures and methods for determining the physical consistency for determining flowability by using extrusion tube apparatus
BS EN 16720-1 benefits businesses by developing product-specific standards and certification schemes that can be globally accepted.
