1. Initial Conditions – Stable Sludge Production
The customer faced the need for regular sludge processing, with an average daily production of approximately 250 kg of dry solids. The high volumetric load and necessary manual handling resulted in increased operating costs and a significant burden on the plant operators.
2. Solution – Technology Supplied by ENVITES
ENVITES designed a compact and reliable sludge dewatering system consisting of:
- A 2.3 m³ homogenization tank equipped with a mixer to maintain uniform sludge concentration and prevent sedimentation prior to pumping.
- An automatic sludge pump, ensuring continuous transfer of sludge to the dewatering unit without the need for manual operation.
- A chamber filter press K470/15, engineered for industrial operation with medium capacity. The equipment enables high dry solids content in the filter cake and supports fully automatic operation.
3. Results
- Significant reduction of sludge volume, greatly simplifying handling.
- Reduced waste disposal costs.
- Minimal requirements for operator attendance and equipment maintenance.
4. Conclusion
By installing the complete sludge-dewatering solution from ENVITES, the customer obtained a reliable and efficient system for daily sludge processing with high operational stability. The design contributed to simplified operation, reduced environmental impact, and optimized overall sludge-dewatering costs.
