Sludge Thickening. Sludge thickening is a process in which the solids concentration is increased and the total sludge volume is correspondingly decreased, but the sludge still behaves like a liquid instead of a solid. Thickening commonly produces sludge solids concentrations in the 3% to 5% range, whereas the point at which sludge begins to ...
Read MoreDesludging can be initiated by sludge blanket level and terminated after a pre-set time, or when the solids concentration in the discharge measured in the outlet pipe falls to a pre-set value. In a well-operated thickener, the supernatant is normally of an acceptable chemical and physical quality for recycling to the treatment process, but the ...
Read MoreA 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. Learn more.
