Oil Field Sludge Dewatering

An oil field contract dewatering company was unable to dewater the oily/water/solids from several oil field storage tanks using conventional coagulants/flocculants. The swings in solids loading and oil content made it very difficult to control the correct dosage rate as conventional chemistry has a very tight tolerance to maintain a dewaterable floc. The result was an ongoing blinding problem for ...

A review on sludge dewatering indices

Dewatering of sludge from sewage treatment plants is proving to be a significant challenge due to the large amounts of residual sludges generated annually. In recent years, research and development have focused on improving the dewatering process in order to reduce subsequent costs of sludge management and transport. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to establish reliable indices that ...

New processes for the improvement of sludge digestion and sludge dewatering

INTRODUCTIONThe examination of numerous sewage sludges from municipal wastewater treatment plants leads to the conclusion that on the one hand dewaterability of these sludges worsens and that on the other hand dewaterability of sludges becomes more and more important due to increasing disposal costs. Especially wastewater treatment plants with inflows from the food processing industry often face ...

Dewatering of Industrial Sludge - Case Study

At Ten Cate Protect, town of Nijverdal, The Netherlands, 2006 During the wastewater treatment process at Ten Cate Protect large quantities of sewage sludge are liberated. A couple of days per week this sludge is transported in tanker trucks to a waste disposal plant. On June 14th 2005 a Geotube MDS unit was put in operation at Ten Cate Protect to separate and condense the sludge of the aerobic ...

Simulation of sludge dewatering on belt filters

A mathematical model for belt filters was developed to determine optimum load rate and belt speed during drainage of flocculated biological sludge. Numerical simulations were performed for belt filters with and without plows, and the model fit experimental data well. Experiments showed that highly compressible cakes were formed during drainage, which was important. Due to cake compression, the ...

Geotube Dewatering for Lagoon Sludge - Case Study

Background In many animal waste management schemes it is desirable to separate solids from waste water and/or manures. In cooperation with the Department of Animal and Dairy Science, animal waste specialists from Biological and Agricultural Engineering are field testing a technology new to agriculture, to remove solids from lagoons. The test is currently being conducted at the UGA Dairy ...

Influence of nanoparticles on the polymer-conditioned dewatering of wastewater sludges

The effect of using small-scale, high surface area, nanoparticles to supplement polymer-conditioned wastewater sludge dewatering was investigated. Aerobically digested sludge and waste activated sludge sourced from the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia, were tested with titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The sludge samples were dosed with the nanoparticles in an attempt to adsorb a component of the ...

Vermicomposting of dewatered sludge from pulp and paper mill

The present paper is aimed at conversion of dewatered sludge from pulp and paper mill into value added product through vermicomposting. The dewatered sludge was blended with cow dung and food processing waste in five different combinations R1 (1.5), R2 (1 + 0.24 + 0.26), R3 (1 + 0.34 + 0.16), R4 (1 + 0.41 + 0.09) and R5 (1 + 0.46 + 0.04) for utilisation in vermicomposting using Eisenia fetida. ...

Nitrification of centrate from dewatering of anaerobically digested sludge

Nitrification of anaerobically digested sludge centrate was studied in bench-scale suspended growth and fixed film enhanced suspended growth systems at temperatures of 10.5-28.5°C and pH values of 6.0-9.1. Nitrification followed zero-order kinetics in both systems, and ammonia removals in excess of 99% were observed. The temperature dependency of the suspended growth nitrification rate ...

Sludge Dewatering Performance - A Survey Of Real Operational Performance

Abstract. A survey of the literature revealed that it is difficult, indeed virtually impossible, to get meaningful information about the likely performance of dewatering equipment. As a consequence customers have sometimes specified impossible target performances and suppliers have unwisely agreed to them. Dewatering has major consequences for downstream processes, for example sizing dryers ...

Processing Wastewater Sludge Using Dewatering Containers

The relative cost of dewatering equipment varies widely and is directly related to the processing rate. For smaller utilities that need to dewater sludge in batches, dewatering containers are an alternative that can be relatively inexpensive and simple when compared to other technologies on the market. The most common type of dewatering container is based on a roll-off box design, although any ...

Village of Maybrook, NY Sludge Dewatering System

Project Summary: The Village of Maybrook WWTP process consists of primary clarification, trickling filters, and secondary clarification. Primary sludge and trickling filter humus is anaerobically digested. The belt filter press dewaters the sludge eliminating the need for sludge drying beds. The belt filter press discharge cake solids are consistently in the 25 to 30 percent range, which is ...

The Importance of Dewatering

With spring comes two things: the onset of construction season for most of our country and rain- lots and lots of rain. The unpredictability of storms and the amount of rainfall is all a guessing game. Jobsites flood, work stalls and projects get delayed. Rain makes it hard to keep dry and on-schedule. What’s the solution? Dewatering is a technique used to control ...

Phyto-dewatering of sewage sludge using Panicum repens L.

Experiments in the field environment have been conducted to study the growth of Panicum repens L., an aquatic plant, in the sewage sludge matrix. The experiments were also carried out to investigate the ability of this plant to dewater sewage sludge to increase the capacity of conventional drying beds. In addition, the ability of Panicum repens L. to reduce the sludge ...

Dewatering waste-activated sludge using dissolved gas-flotation followed by filtration

After the successes of flotation of waste-activated sludge (WAS), using the new technique utilizing CO2 gas as well as using model gas (80% N2+20% CO2) in previous research because of the high water solubility of CO2 gas, the aim of this study is to develop a simple method for dewatering WAS for easier reuse and safe disposal. The paper introduces a laboratory model for dewatering WAS in two ...
