The role of sludge thickening is to thicken the sludge of low concentration generated in STPs, and to make subsequent processes such as sludge digestion and sludge de-watering more effective. Thickened sludge may be of two kinds: primary sludge generated in the primary settling tank and excess sludge generated in the secondary settling tank ...

Rotary drum thickening increases the sludge solids concentration by agitating the solids in a slowly-rotating cylindrical drum with porous walls though which the water (or filtrate) drains.The drum is normally 0.5−1.5 m diameter drum and rotates at speeds between 5 and 20 RPM while the sludge continually passes along its axis.

Introduction to sludge thickening. A number of processes act purely to remove water from the sludge to reduce its volume. As a result, the suspended solids concentration of the sludge is increased, i.e. the sludge becomes consolidated. These processes are referred to as either thickening or dewatering, depending on the amount of water removed.

screw press product 02 Air flotation Sludge Thickening. Dissolved air flotation is the primary system for sludge thickening. Small air particles attach to the suspended solid material. DAF Sludge cause the solids to break up and float to the surface. When air bubbles attach to these suspended solids, they have a lower gravity than water, which makes them float.

The most commonly used thickening processes include gravity thickening, dissolved air flotation, and rotary drum thickening.Centrifuge thickening is also becoming more common. The type of thickening selected is usually determined by the size of a wastewater plant, its physical constraints and the downstream process.

Gravity thickening increases the solids concentration by allowing the particles to settle to the base of a vessel, producing a concentrated (thickened) solids stream at the vessel base and a supernatant (diluted) stream at the surface.

There are several different methods for thickening biosolids, including dissolved air floatation (DAF), centrifugal thickening, gravity belt thickening, and gravity thickening. Gravity thickening uses the natural tendency of higher-density solids to settle out of liquid to concentrate the solids. Gravity thickeners consist of a circular tank

Sludge settles in gravity thickeners and is compressed by the weight of its own solids. Primary sludge from the primary clarifier of wastewater treatment plants and digested sludge from anaerobic sludge treatment thicken better statically than secondary sludge because of the higher density of their solids.

Mechanical sludge thickening to reduce sludge volume. Before sludge with a very high water content is subjected to further treatment, it is a good idea to reduce its volume by thickening. This also increases the solids content of the sludge. If sludge with a solids content of 1% is thickened to 6% solids, this gives a volume reduction of more ...

This is usually the case for waste activated sludge (WAS) which demands a relatively low solids loading rate (SLR) of 20−30 kg dry solids per m 2 tank area per day (kgDS/(m 2 d)) if treated by gravity thickening, compared to almost five times this rate for DAF. Polymer dosing at 2−5 g polymer per kg DS (g/kgDS) increases the SLR value ...
