What (who) is sludge bulking - definition
Sludge bulking
PROCESS IN SEWAGE TREATMENT
In treatment of sewage one process used is the activated sludge process in which air is passed through a mixture of sewage and old sludge to allow the micro-organisms to break down the organic components of the sewage. Sludge is continually drawn off as new sewage enters the tank and this sludge must then be settled so that the supernatant (the remaining liquid) can be separated to pass on to further stages of treatment.
Sewage sludge
BY-PRODUCT OF SEWAGE TREATMENT
Surplus activated sludge; Surplus Activated Sludge; Sludge application; Land application of sludge
Sewage sludge is the residual, semi-solid material that is produced as a by-product during sewage treatment of industrial or municipal wastewater. The term "septage" also refers to sludge from simple wastewater treatment but is connected to simple on-site sanitation systems, such as septic tanks.

COLLECTION, TRANSPORT, AND TREATMENT OF FECAL SLUDGE FROM PIT LATRINES, SEPTIC TANKS OR OTHER ONSITE SANITATION SYSTEMS
Septage; Faecal sludge; Fecal sludge; Faecal sludge management; Non-sewer sanitation; Non-sewered sanitation
Fecal sludge management (FSM) (or faecal sludge management in British English) is the storage, collection, transport, treatment and safe end use or disposal of fecal sludge. Together, the collection, transport, treatment and end use of fecal sludge constitute the "value chain" or "service chain" of fecal sludge management.
