Screw press dewatering at municipal wastewater treatment plants

Dewatering at Municipal Plants

Municipal wastewater treatment plants are the backbone application for screw press dewatering. The self-cleaning multi-disc press runs continuously and largely unattended, making it ideal for plants where operator time is limited. A single RF machine can be matched to the plant’s dry solids load, while multiple dewatering units in one frame serve larger regional facilities. All common municipal sludges — waste activated, primary, mixed and digested — are handled with appropriate polymer conditioning.
