Abstract: With the rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization the large amount of waste water is being
generated, which must be treated to prevent the environment hazardous and human health. There are
number of waste water treatment plant (WWTP), which treats the waste water and produce the inevitable by
products, sludge is the largest in volume. The sludge produced as residue from WWTP which must be
considered under study to utilize this by-product and also to prevent the environment hazardous. The
evaluation of engineering properties is presented in this paper to utilize the sludge in various fields.
