Gravity thickening is the most common practice for concentration of sludges as it is the simplest and the least expensive. This is adopted for primary sludge or combined primary and activated sludge but is not successful in dealing with activated sludge independently.
Get Price· When thickening waste activated sludges mechanically, it is usually possible to achieve greater than 7% to 8% solids. However, if this is fed continuously to the aerobic digester, then it is likely that any aeration system will have difficulty meeting the oxygen demand given the viscosity and high concentration.
Get PriceSludge Thickener Waste activated sludge and scum from the Secondary Sedimentation Tanks are pumped to the Sludge Thickener. The purpose of this unit is to thicken the influent sludge from % – % solids density to % – % solids density.
Get PriceDuring storage, the sludge is dewatered and thickened sometimes scrapers and agitators are used to accelerate the process. Your benefit Reliable Reliable content measurement in the sludge thickening tank Cost effective Noncontact measurement ensures maintenancefree operation User friendly Simple installation and setup Recommended products
Get PriceThe thickened sludge is now ready to be processed using dewatering equipment. Technical features Belt widths of 1,, 2, and 3m available for process flexibility Our largest model with a width of 3m can treat up to 180m3 per hour and unit with solids loading of up to 350kg/h/m for waste activated sludge Stainless steel, selfsupported frame
Get PriceGravity is utilized to thicken the sludge from a feed consistency of –5% to a discharge consistency of 12–22%. The gentle treatment of the gravity table keeps the flocculent consumption low and results in a lower filtrate load compared to other predewatering systems. Benefits of the ANDRITZ Gravity Table GT High thickening capacity
Get PriceIt is useful for further processing, namely to reduce the capacity of the tank and the equipment needed, the amount of chemicals required for conditioning the sludge, and the amount of heat/fuel needed by the digester/heat drying. Drum Thickener Belt Thickener FluxDrain

Get Price· In this step, the sewage sludge is thickened in a gravity thickener to reduce its overall volume, thus enabling the easy handling of the sludge. Dissolved air flotation is another alternative that can be used to effectively to thicken the sludge by using air bubbles to allow the solid mass to float to the top. Step 2 – Sludge Digestion
Get PriceAdvantages of the DAF FPAC200 for thickening sludge Among the main advantages of DAF, compared to conventional mud thickeners, are: • Increased dry matter by more than double. • It allows improving the subsequent dehydration of thickened mud, as a consequence it reduces operating costs.
Get PriceSludge Thickeners Thickening of sludge using sedimentation is a common method of increasing the solids concentration due its simplicity of operation, low maintenance and good performance. Appliions typically include backwash water recovery in water treatment plants and filtrate washwater recovery in sewage treatment plants.
Get PriceThe standard appliion of PPU is the thickening of sludge from the DAF (20 40 L/h (per each 1 m³ floated wastewater) with DM 3 5% and secondary sludge from the biological treatment with DM 1%. Advantages: SelfCleaning large transport load no clogging no odor no backwash easy maintenance stable treatment capacity
Get PriceThe DEWA BTN Gravity Belt Thickener is a fully enclosed system, designed to increase the dry solid concentration of the feed sludge considerably. Flocculator DEWA flocculator is used for water and wastewater clarifiion and to optimal formation of flocs.
Get PriceThe HUBER SDisc sludge thickener is economical for a wide range of plant sizes, from 100,000 gpd to a really large plant like the one in Springfield, Illinois which is using four HUBER SDisc sludge thickeners between two plants. There are two HUBER SDisc sizes available; Size 1 and Size 2. Most of our appliions are Size 1.
Get PriceSalher sludge thickeners are manufactured in GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polyester) with orthophthalic resins and are used for the dehydration or thickening of sludge produced during primary and secondary treatments. They are truned coneshaped equipment consisting of a central feeding chamber and a Thompson perimeter canal.
