Abstract:

Highlights•One of the first attempts made in Europe to convert municipal sludge to biodiesel.•First attempt to optimise the yield of lipids extracted using pre-treatments.•First attempt to compare four sludge of different characteristics from the WWTP.•Primary sludge has a conversion to FAME of 19% in dried sludge basis.•Pre-treatments do not affect essentially the conversion and composition of FAME.
