Belt filter presses for sludge dewatering
These presses dewater sludges to produce a cake with a dry solids content of 30% or more in the case of primary sludge
Sludge dewatering
Introduction to sludge dewatering
Dewatering processes provide a concentrated, consolidated product − retaining most of the solids from the original sludge – along with a diluted stream which is predominantly water.
Dewatering processes apply a significant mechanical force to achieve increased water removal over that possible from thickening.

How much is sludge worth?
The UK regulator OFWAT has introduced legislation based on the notion of sludge as a resource. Its value is often expressed in terms of calorific content, and the phosphate is also potentially recoverable. But how exactly should sludge value be quantified? Read article
