Sludge Dewatering by Impulse Drying

An innovative and energy efficient sludge dewatering technology has been developed. The technology, impulse drying, involves briefly contacting the sludge under pressure with a heated surface. A unique feature of impulse drying is that the majority of moisture removal occurs as lipid water. A pilotand laboratory-scale demonstration was performed on low ash primary paper mill sludge. The pilot-s...

Effect of electrolytes content on the electro-osmotic dewatering of agro-industrial sludge

The agro-industrial sludge, tested in this work, comes from a biscuit factory (France). Initially, it contains 3 % w/w of dry matter. The actual treatment by centrifugation dewaters it to 13 % w/w of dry matter. Electroosmotic dewatering under pressure (EOD) was investigated, as an alternative technology of mechanical treatment, to improve dewatering. This electrical treatment efficiency depend...

Enhancing the MTE dewatering of sewage sludge by conditioning with brown coal

Dewatering of sewage sludge is an important part of proper sludge management practice. It is becoming a more challenging issue for water industries as new regulations on sludge disposal are being imposed. In this paper, the application of mechanical thermal expression (MTE) to dewater sewage sludge and the conditioning of sludge by mixing with brown coal are investigated. Raw sludge, sludge flo...
