This study evaluates the use of an automated respirometer with hermetic rotary reactor to evaluate the parameters of O2 and CO2 during the co-composting of sewage sludge and grass clippings. The traditional composting process is highly empirical in terms of its control and evaluation of the process, which consists of daily temperature readings. In the respirometric method, the parameters of degradation are measured in the gas phase of the composting process, obtaining data lines 1440/day, with the advantage of greater representativeness, accuracy and reliability.engCompostingRespirometric methodSewage sludgeSolid wasteTrabalho apresentado em evento2-s2.0-84929359675
