Integrated or Stand-alone Dewatering Unit

To save space and money, the enclosed SF system contains an optional integrated dewatering process. Sludge drops into the collection area from the thickening process at 3 – 8 % DM and is conveyed across the unit by an auger. It can then be fed to a sludge stabilization process (e.g. direct digester feed); Or processed further through the dewatering unit to produce sludge that is 20 –30% DM (without the need for any additional dewatering equipment).

For larger installations, a stand-alone dewatering unit is available to dewater sludge from multiple filters. It can apply a higher pressure to produce even drier sludge (typically 20 – 40% DM).
