What Is Sludge Thickeneing and Dewatering?

Sludge thickening and dewatering is two important stages in treating sludge. Thickening is the first step of sludge treatment in which the solids concentration is increased and the total sludge volume is correspondingly decreased, Thickening commonly produces sludge solids concentrations between 15% and 20%, LZZG Deep Cone Thickener results in maximum water recovery, maximum underflow density, can help to save the downstream costs.

Dewatring process reduces the most moisture content of the sludge. LZZG use filter press(mechanical dewatering) for dewatering. Separate liquids and solids utilizes the principle of pressure drive, after the mechanical dewatering process, the sludge will results in a 95% reduction in volume, which will be convenient for storage and transportation. Most overflows will be recycled or reusing.

Sludge treatment system is imporatant in treating solid waste. It minimizes the water waste, enabling the re-treatment of sludges so that they can be easily stock or landfill.

LZZG sludge treatment system is consist of Deep Cone Thickener and Filter Press, The systems usually used after sand washing machine, dewatering screen, tailing dewatering screen or sand recycling machines, widely applied for wastewater treatment of sandstone aggregate plant, precious metal dressing plant, ceramics, glass and other industries.

What is lzzg filter press?

As a solid-liquid separation equipment, the filter press has a long history in the application of materials dewatering and liquids solids separation. Specifically, the slurry is pumped into the filter press chambers. Under the action of the pressure pump, the filter plates extrude each other, so the low moisture content cake is formed and released.

LZZG customized filter presses feature good separation effect and wide adaptability, especially for the sticky and fine materials. Whether you require a high capacity of Filter Press or a smaller footprint design, we will design best option standard or specific filter press solutions for each user based on the volume and type of slurry that needs to be dewatered.

As a professional filter press manufacturer, LZZG's extensive range of industrial filter presses, including plate filter press, belt filter press as well as a range of optional equipment accessories: automatic filter cloth cleaning system, auto plate shifting device, auto plate shaking device, automatic hydraulic device, and PLC auto-control, etc.
