Résumé
Produites sur les stations d’épuration des eaux usées, les boues constituent un déchet organique humide qu’il convient de gérer efficacement pour maîtriser les nuisances olfactives engendrées lors de leur fermentation anaérobie. Cet article fait le point d’une part sur les enjeux techniques et réglementaires qui conditionnent le devenir des boues en France, mais aborde également les aspects liés au recyclage agronomique et à ses impacts potentiels sur la santé. Enfin, le contexte économique de la gestion des boues est présenté et un panorama des filières est réalisé.


Abstract - Sewage sludge treatment: French context and technology survey
Generated on sewage treatment plants, sewage sludge is an organic and wet biowaste that requires efficient management in order to prevent on site nuisances such as outrageous smells produced by anaerobic fermentation. This paper focuses on regulatory and technical issues of sewage sludge management in France. A special section also deals with agronomic recycling and its potential effects on human health. Eventually, the economic context together with a panorama of sewage sludge management solutions is presented for the French context.


Key words: Sewage sludge treatment -- sludge recycling -- management costs -- French sludge management context

Mots clés : Traitement des boues d’épuration -- recyclage des boues -- coûts de gestion -- contexte de gestion des boues en France

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
