For thickening municipal surplus sludge to 5-8% DS
Water drained from sludge by gravity filtration. High quality, special sieve belts, clog-free baffle plates and adjustable flow ramps are crucial to the efficiency of this solidXdrain.
Features of solidXdrain
Large, active filtration area
Thin sludge feed gentle on floccs
High-quality, special sieve belts adjusted to the sludge
Clog-free, individually adjustable baffle plates
DS content adjusted via an adjustable ramp
Internal splash guard encapsulation
Large access and control flap valves
Advantages:
Low return loading due to separation efficiencies up to 99%
Low polymer consumption of approx. 2-3 kg WS/t-DS
Reduced power demand from energy-efficient drives
Simplified and minimised operator input
Long service life and low maintenance costs due to high quality components
Sludge filtrate used for belt cleaning
Applications:
Solid / liquid separation of suspensions
Thickening sludges from water and wastewater treatment plants
Volume reduction for optimised digester operation and reduced disposal costs
