INDIVIDUAL: ABOMINATION: The Grusldeve is an Abomination that resides in the Sea of Sludge, a body of disgusting, slimy, brownish and acidic liquid which borders the Gomorran Desert Plane in the Underworld and is the home and/or place of origin of aquatic–type demons such as the Goryshu… and this thing. The Grusldeve is a 300–foot–tall/long monster that is mentioned by name in the Next Testament and lurks beneath the Sea of Sludge, emerging from it only once every twenty four hours, and for only a few minutes. When it does so, the Grusldeve erupts violently from the sludge and reveals its form, that of a grotesque, heavy–set cylindrical figure with a discernible head and pair of arms, and several tails/fins/tentacles at its bottom. This body exhibits a predominance of greenish colors, and its durability value is 70,000. The surface of the Grusldeve's body is naturally smooth and waxy, making most of the sludge that it is totally immersed in 99% of the time simply slide off of it. However, the monster has the ability to (and often does) transmogrify its own surface to have a more absorbent texture at will, in which case it absorbs copious amounts of sludge into massive pores that start opening up all over its body, engorging itself to a swollen size, before emerging to spew all of the sludge out of its mouth, either up into the air or into the Gomorran Desert.
Whenever it emerges above the sludge's surface, the Grusldeve does one or more of several random things, one of which is what was described immediately above.
Another, more dangerous action, is when the beast channels a great amount of energy onto a point against the muddy liquid directly below itself, allowing the monster to hover in place for a limited amount of time. In this time, the Abomination generates large blue orbs of explosive Infernal Energy mixed together with the essence of the sludge, and throws them towards the Gomorran Desert, where they burst on impact with an explosion of particularly acidic sludge that is hundreds of feet in blast diameter and is, in truly cruel irony, nearly identical in outward appearance to normal water despite being highly deadly to the touch and even corrosive to solid stone. Many of the strange shapes found in the rock and mountain formations of the Gomorran Desert are results of corrosion caused by these projectiles of the Grusldeve's.
On some occasions, the Grusldeve will start swimming tight, rapid laps around the landmass that is the Gomorran Desert, splashing sludge onto all of its shores. Other times, it simply emits a tremendously loud, deep–pitched roaring sound, which creates a physical quake of fair magnitude throughout the Gomorran Desert and can be heard all throughout the rest of the Underworld. And still other times, it spontaneously opens up a temporary wormhole to a random location in the Prime Galaxy and starts splashing and shoveling gallons of sludge into it. This particular action is the most harmful to mortals out of all things the Grusldeve does, especially considering that the acidity of the sludge can be deadly to certain races, but it is still minor compared to what other Abominations are capable of (and only by that comparison). Overall, the Grusldeve is actually fairly harmless (again, by comparison only). It does not appear to be sapient, for its behavior is random and often pointless, rather than constructively malignant.
Many have referred to the Grusldeve as the "Fifth Dark Lord", and this label is arguably more fitting for the Abomination than for any other being, as it occupies a specific location in the Underworld, as the actual Four Dark Lords do, and is the closest thing that part of the Underworld has to a "ruler"; its animalistic, idiot nature certainly reflects that of the Gomorran Desert.
Transrails' 60084 stands at the head of a Mainline Freight trial service at Cwmbargoed on 18/9/1996. The service itself was a Cwmbargoed - Hayes Tarmac Sdgs. trial flow conveying stone from the nearby Gelligaer Quarry.
As STP Manager at Westbury, Planning came under the responsibility of my Team - hence my attendance there - although the trial itself was beset by problems. Initially the service was to use refurbished "Gunnel" wagons (aka "Super Sallys") - however on the day the standard engineers Gunnel were supplied - eventually managing to set off a HABD. The stone itself was contaminated by Coal Sludge (isn't everything in Cwmbargoed though?) & had to be washed on arrival.
Mainline 60040 initially worked the train as far as Barry, where, due to braking problems on the branch - modified Class 60's were used - hence this particular peice of co-operation.
"The sludger's toxic breath dissolves even the dreamscape itself."
Happy Earth Day, Folks (About a week too late)!
The toxic sludger, aside from being an awesome, awesome radioactive pollution poison ghost, was useful in Dreamblade in that it was fairly tough, but also cancelled out any and all nearby locations, which could easily destroy your opponent's strategy. Or yours.

Out of the Archives: A captain’s-eye view of Sludge Vessel Tallman Island, one of the first of its kind, built during the late 1930s wave of sewage treatment modernization. Its sister ship the Coney Island is in the background. Sludge is the organic material removed from wastewater. Back then, the vessels carried sludge out into the ocean to keep the local waters clean, but for over thirty years now, they’ve transported it from treatment plants without dewatering facilities to those that do have the infrastructure needed to finish the treatment process.
We digitized these glass lantern slides by scanning each twice (once transparent to capture the photograph and once reflective to capture the mount), then merging the scans to create a faithful reproduction of the entire object. This improves access to images that originally required an antique projector for viewing and helps to preserve the fragile slides by minimizing future handling.

SLUDGE-WASTING TANK
Westmoreland /Fayette Municipal Sewage Authority Plant Manager Darryl Wyke routinely checks the recently upgraded and expanded plant in Scottdale, PA, on Sept 3, 2021. The $16,000.000.00 project was comprised of $14,394,000.00 funded by the United States Department of Agriculture USDA Rural Development RD as a 40-year loan at 2.375% along with a $2,000,000.00 grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The facility was upgraded to a sequencing batch reactor wastewater treatment facility capable of treating an average daily dry-weather flow of 2.5 million gallons per day, and a daily wet-weather flow of 25.0 million gallons per day.
What was a field of trees three years ago, are now five tanks, each is 45' wide, 153' long, and 21' deep. Creating an approximate normal working capacity of 700,000 gallons each. This equals 50,000 gallons for every foot of depth in a single tank. The five tanks cover an area about the size of a football field.
Sequencing batch reactors are a fill-and-draw activated sludge system for wastewater treatment. In this system, wastewater is added continuously to the four reactors to feed the activated sludge biomass. The biomass uses aeration to breathe and move around. In this natural reaction, the biomass feeds on the nutrients that are broken down and then multiplies. During a settling cycle, the biomass sinks to the bottom of the reactor. The final effluent, on top, is then discharged during the decant cycle.
The excess biomass is pumped to a sludge-wasting tank where air is pumped through aerators on the bottom to bubble up through the biomass. The aeration keeps everything moving and mixing. This allows the microorganisms to stay in suspension to further digest the waste. Since there are no nutrients added to the wasting tank the microorganisms consume themselves or die off; a sign of this action is the brown foam floating in the tank.
The sludge from the wasting tank is pumped from the bottom of the tank to the belt press room. A coagulant known as polymer is added to make solid particles adhere together. The solids move along a perforated belt where gravity begins the separation process. The solids then move forward to the mechanical separation of solid particles from the liquid using roller-driven screens. The solid particles are then conveyed to a greenhouse for sun-drying, which is sent to a landfill in a stabilized state. The liquid from the belt filter pressing process is returned for retreatment with the plant’s influent.
Meanwhile, in the sequencing batch reactor tank, the processed water, free of solids, is decanted from the top levels of the reactor tank and passes numerous germicidal ultraviolet UV lights that break down the DNA of any remaining bacteria and eliminating any possible diseases before being discharged to Jacobs Creek; a tributary to the northward flowing Youghiogheny River, Monongahela River, and Ohio River; then travels south on the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico.
He and his team test the discharge twice a week. All water that leaves the plant is within safe levels, even during storm surges. The water is so clean that 85% of the samples are below lab detectable levels.
Mr. Wyke enjoys his work and has a personal stake in maintaining safe results because the outflow is in the waterway that flows along the banks of his family home in the local area.

Thames-side sludge incineration plant. It generates thermal energy from sewage sludge produced in an adjacent sewage treatment plant. But you'd never guess from its modern architecture.
This combination vacuum jetter truck, also known as combination vacuum jetting truck or sewer vacuum truck, is a kind of vehicle specially used to suck, transport, and transfer sludge and sewage in sewer lines, rainwater wells, and sedimentary wells. It can help to reduce the labor intensity of work in sewer as well as to keep poisonous gases away from workers.
It is not only a good choice for cleaning pipelines, but also a good assistant for large factories to deal with sewage, greasy dirt, and wastewater. Besides, sometimes it can be even used to clean brooks.
Apart from sucking, cleaning, and dredging sewer lines, this combination vacuum jetting truck possesses other advantages. The first one lies in that its advanced sewage circulation filtration system can recycle the sucked wastewater, thus saving a great deal of water. The second advantage is that the recycling use of water can help to reduce the times of adding and pouring out water, thus improving the work efficiency greatly.
This sewer vacuum truck mainly consists of chassis, tank, vacuum system, high pressure system, driving system, water recycling system, hydraulic system, and electrical system.

Compost, sludge, urine, plants - what if we could use all organic waste as sustainable energy sources? Well, we can. With microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which the European Commission has already named one of the “100 most radical innovation breakthroughs for the future” in 2019. The “Living Light” project aims to ensure that this innovative technology receives the attention it deserves: in the form of a designer light for both indoor and outdoor use, for example in parking lots. The microbial fuel cells in this project use microbes found in the soil to generate the energy that lights up the lamp. The Living Light received an Honorary Mention at the STARTS Prize 2021.

Following the defeats at the hands of Unicron (TF Movie) and the the Predacons (Call of the primals) The dinobots start to show signs of mutiny in the ranks of the Dinobots. Slag and Sludge question if Grimlock is truly the strongest one there is. Before a battle for a shift of power can begin with their ranks, they are interupted by one of the few Autobots all the Dinobots trust, Wheelie. He informs Grimlock that Gnaw, Wheelie's pet Sharticon went haywire destroyed a small Cybertronian fair, and commendered a shuttle and left for the Quintesson planet! In an attempt to regain control Grimlock decrees that the Dinobots will go to the Quinteson planet and retrieve Gnaw. The other dinobots are leary, but Wheelie's excited cheers about not only returning to his home planet and saving his pet/friend sway them to follow Grimlocks plan. Not being known for their piloting skills, Grimlock, Wheelie, and the Dinobots find Scattershot in the Autobot hanger and convince him to deploy them on the Quintesson planet for a recon mission. Once on the planet, they find that things are amiss. A lone Quintesson looking to reclaim the power that was usurped from them via Hot Rod, Kup, and the Dinobots has initiated Protocol: Frenzy, a program designed to reboot all the Sharticons and send them on a seek and detroy mission throughout the cosmos. Millions of them! Once on the planet, the dinobots are immediately attacked and their ship is over run and literally devoured. The Dinobots and Scattershot fight valiantly, but the sheer numbers of the Sharticons is too great and they are over run. In the midst of the battle Wheelie is searching for the spark of Gnaw, and while doing so is mortally wounded by some Sharticons forcing the heroes to retreat and regroup in Wheelies former hideaway on the planet. Defeated and with no way off the planet or to call reenforcements, their fate seems doomed. Slag says the Dinobots would crush the Sharticons with stronger leader! The fight that started on Cybertron continues in Wheelie's bunker. But in their weakened state, the battle is over shortly as Scattershot states this is madness, you are a TEAM! Scattershot states that if the other Technobots were there, they'd have a fighting chance with Computron. Then the as Grimlock surveys the bunker he sees Swoop holding the dying Wheelie, but also notices that Wheelie has scavenged parts and pieces from the left of parts of the various "residenst" of the planet. "me Grimlock say we, Dinobots ARE a team, and Dinobots shall save the day!" He looks at Scattershot. "You Scattershot will make Dinobots combine" We will be the strongest. We Will crush all those who stand in our way." "But thats... thats... INSANE" Scattershot states, thinking about the sheer destruction all of their powers combined would unleash on this planet, let alone the universe "...but what other choice do we have."Slag and Sludge have enough of following BORING Grimlock" We rather die on Shark planet befor...."Enough!!!!" Swoop says while holding the almost lifeless Wheelie. "Grimlock is dinobot, we are dinobots, he is leader, WE follow Grimlock. Friend Wheelie need our help" All the while Scattershot has surveyed and scan the items into his databanks, and scans Wheelie's body and all of the dinobots..."And help him we will Swoop"

SLUDGE-WASTING TANK
Westmoreland /Fayette Municipal Sewage Authority Plant Manager Darryl Wyke routinely checks the recently upgraded and expanded plant in Scottdale, PA, on Sept 3, 2021. The $16,000.000.00 project was comprised of $14,394,000.00 funded by the United States Department of Agriculture USDA Rural Development RD as a 40-year loan at 2.375% along with a $2,000,000.00 grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The facility was upgraded to a sequencing batch reactor wastewater treatment facility capable of treating an average daily dry-weather flow of 2.5 million gallons per day, and a daily wet-weather flow of 25.0 million gallons per day.
What was a field of trees three years ago, are now five tanks, each is 45' wide, 153' long, and 21' deep. Creating an approximate normal working capacity of 700,000 gallons each. This equals 50,000 gallons for every foot of depth in a single tank. The five tanks cover an area about the size of a football field.
Sequencing batch reactors are a fill-and-draw activated sludge system for wastewater treatment. In this system, wastewater is added continuously to the four reactors to feed the activated sludge biomass. The biomass uses aeration to breathe and move around. In this natural reaction, the biomass feeds on the nutrients that are broken down and then multiplies. During a settling cycle, the biomass sinks to the bottom of the reactor. The final effluent, on top, is then discharged during the decant cycle.
The excess biomass is pumped to a sludge-wasting tank where air is pumped through aerators on the bottom to bubble up through the biomass. The aeration keeps everything moving and mixing. This allows the microorganisms to stay in suspension to further digest the waste. Since there are no nutrients added to the wasting tank the microorganisms consume themselves or die off; a sign of this action is the brown foam floating in the tank.
The sludge from the wasting tank is pumped from the bottom of the tank to the belt press room. A coagulant known as polymer is added to make solid particles adhere together. The solids move along a perforated belt where gravity begins the separation process. The solids then move forward to the mechanical separation of solid particles from the liquid using roller-driven screens. The solid particles are then conveyed to a greenhouse for sun-drying, which is sent to a landfill in a stabilized state. The liquid from the belt filter pressing process is returned for retreatment with the plant’s influent.
Meanwhile, in the sequencing batch reactor tank, the processed water, free of solids, is decanted from the top levels of the reactor tank and passes numerous germicidal ultraviolet UV lights that break down the DNA of any remaining bacteria and eliminating any possible diseases before being discharged to Jacobs Creek; a tributary to the northward flowing Youghiogheny River, Monongahela River, and Ohio River; then travels south on the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico.
He and his team test the discharge twice a week. All water that leaves the plant is within safe levels, even during storm surges. The water is so clean that 85% of the samples are below lab detectable levels.
Mr. Wyke enjoys his work and has a personal stake in maintaining safe results because the outflow is in the waterway that flows along the banks of his family home in the local area.

This was once a sand beach, but is now so polluted by the toxic chemicals spilled from shipbreaking. Note the bare footprints of a ship breaker walking past.

Sludge Vessel Coney Island passing under the Brooklyn Bridge on May 27, 1949, and the Hunts Point this week. One of NYC’s first three sludge vessels, the Coney Island was built in the late 1930s and named after the City’s first modern sewage treatment facility. Sludge is the organic material removed from wastewater. Back then, the vessels carried sludge 12 miles out into the ocean, but for thirty years now, they’ve transported sludge from treatment plants without dewatering facilities to those that do have the infrastructure needed to finish the treatment process.
In 1987, the Coney Island was intentionally sunk (empty!) off the coast of New Jersey, becoming a Scuba diving and fishing destination as part of the Shark River Reef.
