Centrifugal thickening and dewatering of sewage sludge is a high speed process that uses the force from rapid rotation of a cylindrical bowl to separate wastewater solids from liquid to produce a non-liquid material referred to as "cake.". Dewatering wastewater solids reduces the volume of residuals, improves operation, and reduces …
Sludge Dewatering. FRC's durable, stainless steel belt filter press systems cleanly manage the entire sludge management process through automated stages of chemical preparation, gravity thickening, and belt pressing.
