Abstract

In this paper different type of benefits, process and main function of Manufacturing of Bricks Using WTP Sludge is discussed. Increased environmental awareness among people exerts high pressure on water production industry for safe disposal of residues generated in water treatment plants. To study if the sludge which has similar properties of that of soil can be used to replace clay in brick manufacturing. This paper reports the use of sludge as new and non-conventional construction materials as an alternative means of sludge disposal. Due to the similar mineralogical composition of clay and water treatment plant sludge, this study focused on the reuse of sludge in clay brick production. The use of sludge as partial substitute for clay in brick manufacturing. In this studied that sludge percentage is varied from zero to fifty percentage by weight. Parameters such as compressive strength and water absorption are studies.
