Sludge Dewatering

Sludge dewatering is necessary to ensure that the Biosolids are utilized or disposed of in line with today's requirements. Highly efficient sludge dewatering is essential for drying, incineration, composting or dumping. Decanters from Westfalia Separator meet these requirements. High sludge dewatering efficiency guarantees a substantial reduction in sludge volume and consequently significant savings for hauling, tipping fees, and energy consumption during drying/incineration. Thickened and digested sludge with a solids content of 3-8% is pumped to the decanter. A second pump feeds polymer flocculent to the decanter. The optimally dewatered solids discharging from the decanter are sent for further disposal by means of mechanical conveyor. High-performance decanters from Westfalia Separator meet the requirements for maximum dewatering efficiency.
