Victoria does NOT need more land-based sewage treatment plants, because our current, marine-based sewage treatment system, together with source controls, works very well.
Our system benefits both our land and our marine environment, unlike a land-based system which will not make any positive difference to our marine environment but will create thousands of tons of sewage sludge and greenhouse gases.
Thank you Very much for posting this! My personal opinion is for 1) Phosphorus recovery, 2) heat recovery, 3) Biogas recovery, 4) Class A biosolid, 5) Water recovery 6) Using dewatered sludge in an aerobic composter so that it can be used in soils. Please do not make the decision to burn the sludge, it has value, and will only be a net carbon emitter if it is burned. Thanks again!
