Municipal Water & Wastewater Treatment
Sludge Dewatering in Municipal Water & Wastewater Treatment
In the realm of municipal water and wastewater treatment, efficient sludge dewatering is an indispensable process that significantly impacts environmental sustainability and operational costs. Municipalities worldwide face the challenge of managing increasing volumes of sludge while adhering to stringent environmental regulations. That’s why sludge at water and wastewater treatment plants requires application of highly effective dewatering process.
Municipal wastewater treatment plants mainly generate primary and secondary sludge which are the product of sedimentation of contaminants in initial wastewater and of surplus activated sludge respectively. Primary sludge consist of combination of organic and inorganic impurities, when secondary sludge is presented mostly by organic matter. To be treated, they require preliminary flocculation and depending on the applied dewatering technology, they can be dewatered separately or as a mixed sludge.
Other types of sludge generated at municipal wastewater treatment plants are aerobic and anaerobic digestates. Unlike the primary and secondary sludge, they required sophisticated conditioning process prior to dewatering.
Water treatment plants generate sludge mainly as a by-product of coagulation and flocculation of raw water thus it is characterized by high concentration of inorganic matter which impacts the choice of dewatering technologies that can be applied.
