Sludge Dewatering
Reduce sludge volume, lower disposal costs, simplify operations
Effective Sludge Dewatering
Sludge dewatering is the process of removing water from wastewater sludge to produce a semi-solid cake suitable for disposal or further processing. Effective dewatering directly reduces sludge volume by 80–95%, proportionally lowering transport and disposal costs.
Screw press technology delivers continuous, reliable dewatering with minimal energy consumption, operator attention, and maintenance. The RF series covers dry solids loads from 6 to 1,664 kg DS/h, serving applications from small community plants to large industrial facilities.
Key Advantages
- Volume reduction of 80–95% depending on feed and target cake solids
- Continuous 24/7 operation without batch interruptions
- Very low energy consumption: 0.02–0.1 kWh per m³ sludge
- Compact installation footprint
- Minimal operator attention required
