In order to increase the overall solids concentration and reduce volumes for disposal, electro-osmosis has been considered has an alternative mean for wastewater sludge dewatering. It is only recently, though, that a limited number of industrial electro-osmosis applications have successfully been introduced for dewatering sludge. This paper reviews electro-dewatering results of real world cases, elaborates on operational challenges faced and concludes on lessons learned from the introduction of this revolutionary technology in the wastewater treatment industry.", pages = "226-235", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/wef/wefproc/2008/00002008/00000003/art00019", doi = "doi:10.2175/193864708788806467" }
