Dewatering Main Features
- The dewatering system is developed to reduce the amount of waste and thereby expenses for transport and treatment of various sludge products are reduced.
- The dewatering system removes water from the sludge at the reception site and returns the water to the same source. This process retains the natural Micro Organisms in the Treatment Plant; therefore the plant will operate with little upset.
- The amount of sludge to be transported and treated is reduced by more than 80 per cent. Furthermore, the consistency of the sludge is suitable for further treatment.
- Can handle unscreened sludge
- Polymer dosing on board
- Suitable for dewatering treatment plants, septic tanks, grease traps & oil interceptors
- Dry sludge (up to 25%) remains on the truck
- Being a self loading machine with no need for pumps, set-up can be completed in 10 minutes
The core of sludge dewatering is to separate solids and water. The functioning is illustrated in the 4 drawings below. The example is based on emptying of a septic tank. The drawings can analogues be transferred to emptying of grease separators, petrol and oil separators or to many other service jobs.
How Dewatering Works
Step 1 : The contents of the septic tank are sucked up into the sludge tank.
Step 2: The contents of the sludge tank are pumped up into the dewatering tank. During pumping polymer is added.
Step 3 : The reject water is lead back to the septic tank. This secures optimum operation of the septic tank.
Step 4 : Tipping of the dewatered sludge
