Model of Multi-Disk Screw Press –MDQ-354(2)CL
Start of operation – 2020 June
ISSUE
In the plant sludge drying beds for sludge dewatering were used. This method required lots of labor and constant maintenance. Due to this reason, the customer was looking for an efficient and minimal maintenance solution.
SOLUTION
On-site pilot tests were carried out, using mobile dewatering unit MDQ-201, to find the best dewatering technology. According to the test results Esmil offered sludge dewatering complex based on Multi-Disk Screw Press MDQ-354(2)CL. The complex includes – influent sludge feed pump, polymer feeder, three screw conveyors and service platform.
