When industrial wastewater is treated, solid waste is produced. From most primary and secondary treatment technologies, this waste is typically in a slurry form containing a high percentage of water.
In industrial wastewater applications, dewatering can be defined as; the process of natural, chemical, or mechanical removal of water from a slurry, thereby reducing it to a damp solid with the lowest level of moisture attainable .
Installation of a sludge dewatering plant will often achieve excellent payback on capital investment as offsite disposal and cartage costs are dramatically reduced.
EWT has designed and supplied more than 1000 sludge treatment and solids handling plants throughout the world involving belt presses, filter presses, centrifuges, screw presses and more.
