Schematic highlighting the Thickening and Dewatering Processes Thickening What is thickening? A process designed to increase the solids concentration in residuals by removing a portion of the liquid.¹ Feed solids generally range from 2,000 mg/L (0.2% solids) to 15,000 mg/L (1.5% solids). Thickening typically produces a thickened solids product of 2-8% solids concentration (Figure 2). The

After thickening, the sludge mass is usually reduced up to 70% of the initial value, due to water loss, and the solid content reaches 2-3%. With dewatering, the water content is further reduced and the solids content is increased up to 18-20%. Sludge drying, which is the final step, aims to further reduce the water content (< 10%). When thermal drying is used, the sludge is exposed to high
Sludge Thickening vs. Dewatering Both are methods of solids concentration and volume reduction. Only the degree of volume reduction is different. Generally thickeners concentrate sludge at lower than 15% concentration, the dewatering units concentrate the sludge to higher than 15% concentration [3]. Thickened sludge still behaves as a liquid and can be pumped. However, the dewatered sludge

02/03/2012 For a wastewater treatment plant with the flow diagram shown above, there would need to be solids mass balance calculations for the primary clarifier, the aeration tank/secondary clarifier, the sludge thickener, the anaerobic digester, and the sludge dewatering process. The screenshot below shows typical inputs and outputs for a solids mass balance over a sludge thickener.

A relatively easy method of estimating solids capture by a sludge-thickening or dewatering unit is to measure solids concentrations in the process flows. The relationship is developed as follows. The solids mass balance is given in Eq. 9.12 and 9.13: MS = MR + MC (12) QS = QR + QC (13)

When evaluating thickening and dewatering equipment, it is important to "start with the end in mind". Consider downstream processes and alternatives when establishing design criteria. For example, thickening waste activated solids prior to anaerobic digestion will increase the detention time in the process. However, the volumetric loading to the digester also should be

It is also very easy to concentrate this type of sludge with a static thickening step just befo-re dewatering. The drawback is that this sludge ferments very easily. 1.2.2. Biological sludge: Biological sludge comes from the biological treatmentof the wastewater. It is made of a mixture of microorganisms. These microorganisms, mainly bacteria, amalgamate in bacterial

The two most common methods of sludge conditioning are:- a) Chemical conditioning:- The area of the thickener is determined using the mass loading criteria according to the sludge source as shown in the above table. The depth of the thickener is determined as follows. As shown in Figure (4), the thickener depth is divided to
