  • (16) Sufficient dewatering of sewage sludge is recommended to obtain sewage free of listerias.
  • (17) This effect did not appear to be due merely to the state of dryness of the sludge samples because in humus-deficient soil, a relatively inert material, the rate of poliovirus inactivation by heat was not significantly altered through dewatering.
  • (18) Therefore, solar dewatering by heaping the sewage sludge cake and exposing it to sun for no less than 8 weeks is recommended to obtain a listeria-free product.
