Abstract

This study is mainly devoted to the energetic conversion of Tunisian sewage sludge (SS) into second generation biofuels (bio-oil, syngas and bio-char) using pyrolysis process. In fact, urban wastewater treatment operations has generated increasingly large quantities of sewage sludge (SS) (around 2 million tons/year in 2009, ONAS 2010) in Tunisia, since 1974—date of implementation of the first wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).
