What is mechanical sludge dewatering?
Sludge dewatering is the practice of minimizing waste by volume to prepare for its effective disposal. Sludge originates during the process of treating wastewater before the water can be released back into the environment. Long presenting a challenge for the water treatment industry, sludge is the by-product extracted from the slurry during the process of industrial or municipal wastewater ...

A parametric study of alum recovery from water treatment sludge
Alum recovery from water treatment sludge is a promising technique applied to decrease usage of fresh coagulants in the water treatment industry. In addition, alum recovery reduces sludge volume for easy handling. The undertaken work investigated the parametric conditions for alum recovery procedure by acidification. The results show that alum recovery reaches up to 69.03%, and the reduction ...

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 ...

Pretreatment followed by anaerobic digestion of secondary sludge for reduction of sewage sludge volume
The influence of two pretreatment methods, thermal treatment and low-pressure wet oxidation, on the sludge digestion efficiency was examined. Batch thermophilic anaerobic digestion was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the pretreatment methods in terms of volatile suspended solids (VSS) digestion efficiency and gas production. The results showed that the gas production was not proportional ...

Anaerobic Digestion Reduces Microplastics in Sludge
Anaerobic digestion can help remove microplastics — a large cause of water pollution — during the sewage treatment process Microplastics, or tiny fragments of plastic, include microbeads, the plastic pellets present in thousands of household and personal care products, including toothpaste, cosmetics, and beauty scrubs. They also include fragments from the breakdown of anything in ...
