It's also a finelicial strain and a potential environ- mental strain bemuse we're rar'ning out of landf!!!e to dump the stuff. Canadian cities could soon be recycling sludge, a potential- ly major environmental headache, Into a now soup=of energy. According to Environment Canada, large municipalities are now showing Interest it the promising, new technology that converts sewage sludge Into crude oil. Sludge is the byproduct of treated wastewater. Each year, Canadian municipaultles produce more than a half -million metric tonnes of sludge, and then pay about $100 million to dispose. of It.
