Incinerator will tackle sludge from sewage plants

SOUTH Tipperary is set to have its first incinerator in the coming year.

A drier, which will incinerate the sludge produced by various sewage plants, will be located on the site of Clonmel’s existing waste water treatment plant on the Waterford Road.

One of the first of its kind to be provided in this country, the sludge drier will produce fertiliser and will operate at high temperatures to kill any bacteria in the sludge.
