Sludge treatment, reuse and disposal. Sludge is produced from the treatment of wastewater in on-site (e.g. septic tank) and off-site (e.g. activated sludge) systems. This is inherently so because a primary aim of wastewater treatment is removing solids from the wastewater.
The central vacuole is a cellular organelle found in plant cells. It is often the largest organelle in the cell. It is surrounded by a membrane and functions to hold materials and wastes. It also functions to maintain the proper pressure within the plant cells to provide structure and support for the growing plant.
A vacuole is a large storage area that holds food, water, and wastes. Vacuoles are found in both animal and plant cells. A plant cell usually has only 1 large vacuole that takes up much of the space inside the cell.
