A legitimate question to raise: what is the connection between earthworms and municipal sewage sludge treatment?
What kind of worms?

Sewage sludge
technology
The treatment of communal sewage results in large quantities of sewage sludge, a by-product that has imposed a considerable load on the environment in the recent decades. As a result, the elaboration of environmental-friendly procedures has become a priority worldwide. The main trend of technological development was the environmental-friendly disposal of the decomposition products of organic substances, supported by (environmental) impact assessments and measurements, and the separation of recyclable by-products, such as methane and compost.
