After sludge treatment, the volume of the sludge is reduced by dewatering. Decanter centrifuges, belt presses, chamber and membrane filter presses, vacuum belt and rotating filters as well as other dewatering machines enable sludge to be dewatered to a dry solids (ds) content of 20 to 45 %.
The physical characteristics of the sludge will vary and it may be very sticky which can have a detrimental effect on system performance. It is therefore essential that the pumping solution selected has the flexibility to handle these demands.
