This plant concept now makes possible to achieve operational variants for thickening and dewatering of municipal and industrial sludge.
The combination of two plant systems into a compact unit results, in addition to saving building area, in advantages from the cost and operational aspects.
Advantages
Thickening and dewatering of excess sludge in one step
High sludge throughput and final solids contents of the pressed cake at low operating costs
Low maintenance and operating costs, as well as small consumption of flocculants
Hydraulic relief of degestion chambers to improve the energy consumption or increasing the gas yield
Considerable reduction of disposal costs in the case of interim storage, transport, waste dump, drying and incineration
