The ThickTech™ Rotary Drum Thickener (RDT) is the industry leading sludge thickener. Its performance is unmatched, with sludge volume reduction of 90% and a 98% capture rate. In addition, this superior performance is achieved with very low amounts of polymer. The ThickTech™ system is quite compact and requires less floor space than other thickeners. It has low requirements for horsepower, water consumption and polymer usage, resulting in valuable operational efficiencies.
The ThickTech™ RDT increases digester capacity, reduces hauling costs and can be used as a pre-thickener to increase capacity of other dewatering equipment.
With hundreds of installations with over 20 years of operation, the ThickTech™ system is performance proven for applications in municipal water and wastewater treatment plants, industrial facilities and pulp and paper mills. It is fabricated of stainless steel and engineered to provide years of reliable service. The system utilizes a low shear floc tank, followed by dewatering with a high-performance rotary drum screen.
