Screw press dewatering of pharmaceutical wastewater sludge
Dewatering Pharmaceutical Sludge
Pharmaceutical manufacturing generates biological sludge from effluent treatment plus chemical sludges from synthesis and purification. Containment matters: the fully enclosed screw press prevents aerosol release and odour, and its stainless construction supports clean-in-place routines.
Stable, automatic operation suits batch-driven pharmaceutical sites where sludge flow is intermittent and staff attention is scarce.
Typical Sludge & Process Parameters
| Parameter | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Sludge type | Biological + chemical |
| Feed concentration | 1–4% DS |
| Cake solids | 16–24% DS |
| Key requirement | Full containment / hygiene |
