Due to relatively higher solid content in sludge than that in wastewater, a heavy duty scraper is often called for in sludge gravity thickening in order to move sludge to a hopper from which it is withdrawn and further processed.

The average density of water sludge solids is 1400 kg/m3 and the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Therefore 10/1.4 = 7L of dry solids are associated with 990L of water or, for 10 kg of dry solids in a 1 per cent content sludge, the total volume occupied is 997 L. Similarly, for a 2 per cent solids, the volume occupied, with 20 kg of dry solids, is 994 L. In both cases the amount of dry solids

Extremely dilute sludge delivered by the water line usually 99 to 99.8 wateris concentrated to produce sludge containing 90 to 96 water. This sludge is still fluid and, therefore, can be pumped out.

Sludge thickening is a a low investment processmonly in wastewater treatment plants to remove as much water as possible from the liquid sludge. The method involves increasing the concentration of the solids in the sludge so that they can be easily dewatered. Generally, a thickening device is used or alternately, a polymer is added to help thicken the sludge in the water so that it

Sludge is usually pumped continuously from the settling tank to the thickener which has a low overflow rate so that the excess water overflows and the sludge solids concentrate in the bottom. A blanket of sludge is maintained by controlled removal which may be continuous at a low rate. A sludge with a solids content of 8 10 percent or more can be produced by this method. This means that with

How a Thickener Works. Previous Next. Thickening or dewatering may be defined as the removal of a portion of the liquid from a pulp or slime made up of a mixture of finely divided solids and liquids. The early methods of thickening employed plain, flat bottomed tanks into which the pulp was fed until the tank was full. The solids were then allowed to settle as long as required, the top liquid

Recent thickening applications have been specified for rise rates above 10 m/h so needs for effective floccule formation, flocculation reliability and high floccule density have risen accordingly. Impurities in the process water or the original dry flocculant may cause interaction with particle surfaces and settling problems. Floccule strength and size are important factors that have advanced
