| Abstract |
A device for dewatering waste activated sludge that uses the capillary suction in a porous belt has been demonstrated on a pilot scale test unit. The system uses capillary action to initially dewater the sludge and form a thin sludge cake which is then mechanically compressed in a final step to obtain a still dryer cake. Both dewatering steps are incorporated into a single system endless belt design. Sludge feed capacities from 2 to 4.5 lbs/hr sq. ft. (10 to 22 Kgs/hr sq. m) have been demonstrated with the cake solids at discharge ranging from 15 to 18 percent. These results were obtained with a conditioned waste activated sludge at a coagulant cost of approximately $4.00/ton ($4.40/metric ton). The device has also been tested on an anaerobically digested and a mixed primary-activated sludge. (Author) |
