Slurry Treatment & Dewatering Solutions

Industrial Sludge Dewatering

Industrial Sludge Dewatering

Process and wastewater sludge dewatering, with the filtration cycle matched to the sludge chemistry.

Industrial sludge is defined by its chemistry rather than its solids. The cycle, cloth and materials follow from that.

Typical capacity
5 – 80 m³/h
Sludge
Process / wastewater
Target cake
22 – 40 % dry solids

What the plant has to do

The press runs a programmed cycle in the plant hall, with the cake conveyed to a skip and the filtrate passed to the next treatment stage.

Recommended treatment process

Each stage is selected around the slurry and the disposal route.

  1. 01

    Sludge storage

    Storage is sized so the press runs on a steady cycle.

  2. 02

    Conditioning

    Dosing and mixing are set from the sludge chemistry.

  3. 03

    Filtration

    Plate pack, cloth and pressure are chosen around the solids.

  4. 04

    Squeeze

    Membrane plates squeeze the cake where drier cake pays for itself.

  5. 05

    Discharge

    Cake drops to a conveyor or skip; filtrate goes to the next process stage.

Recommended equipment

Equipment is configured around the capacity, solids concentration and target cake moisture of your project.

Operating considerations

Chemistry

A jar test on the real sludge sets the dose, the cloth and the cycle time.

Continuous operation

Automatic plate shifting keeps one operator covering several presses.

Corrosion

Wetted parts are selected for the pH and chloride content of the sludge.
