Thickeners. The practice of thickening or clarification is usually carried out in decantation tanks employing gravity settling or sedimentation. These tanks are fitted with mechanical scrapers to collect and move the settled solids to the point of discharge, the clear overflow being collected and removed by means of peripheral launders.
How filter presses work. A filter press (FP) provides sludge dewatering by pressing the sludge between a series of porous plates. The process forces water from the sludge by applying high pressures to sludge layers held between a series of 20−80 rectangular plates. The plates are recessed to allow them to be filled with sludge, and a …

Efficient high rate thickener come with a central water discharge outlet of water with steady control timing systems. Again, the inlet channels provide an easy addition of the sludge to the tank.
Thickener Equipment for Water Treatment. Gravity sludge thickeners are an easy and cost-effective approach to minimizing the volume of waste solids. Our experts size …
Flotation thickeners. Dissolved air flotation (DAF) provides thickening of sludges by encouraging the solids to float to the surface, rather than allowing them to sink to the tank base as with gravity thickening, where they can be removed by a skimmer.
Gravity thickeners. Gravity thickening increases the solids concentration by allowing the particles to settle to the base of a vessel, producing a concentrated (thickened) solids stream at the vessel base and a supernatant (diluted) stream at the surface. The thickener has the same design features as a primary sedimentation tank used for ...
Sedimentation, or settling, is the simplest of the thickening processes. A gravity sludge thickener has the same design features as a primary sedimentation tank used for …
Sludge Thickeners and Sludge Scrapers. Designed specifically as heavy duty rugged machines for use in various treatment plants. Efficiently removes sludge continuously as it is formed.
We custom design each conventional gravity thickener using customer specifications, standard methods, and computer software for proper sizing and drafting.
An example of a pre-1978 thickening centrifuge rotating assembly quarter-section. This design is typical of both dewatering and thickening equipment from the 1940s to 1978.
reliability in even the toughest applications. The deep cone provides a smaller footprint than a rake style thickener saving space on site. The thickened sludge underflow can reach solids content of over 50%. With no movin
CONVENTIONAL THICKENERS. The objective of a thickener is to separate low-density slurries into a relatively clear liquid and a high-density slurry, or sludge. All thickeners …
Sludge thickening is important because it is the process used in wastewater treatment centers to increase the solids concentration and decrease the free water. This step minimizes the load on the …

Filter drum as a thickener is the alternative to the static thickener, centrifuges, and flotation for thin sludge and statically pre-thickened sludge of throughputs of up to 120 m3/h. The optimum result can be obtained at high throughput performance, while achieving a maximum possible degree of thickening at minimal return load and lowest operational …
Thickening is essential in order to reduce the volume of the sludge produced by wastewater treatment. It optimises the following conditioning, stabilisation and dewatering phases by reducing the size of facilities and equipment, and the operating costs. Dewatering improves efficiency and optimises operating costs.
The sludge thickener with central drive is installed on medium and large size treatment plants if a substantial reduction of the percentage of water contained in the organic or …
Thickening is defined as removal of water from sludge to achieve a reduction in moisture content of slurries. The resulting material is still fluid. Thickening is used at most wastewater treatment plants, as an economic measure, to reduce the volume of sludge or for greater efficiency in subsequent processes. Sludges are thickened primarily to ...
Over the years, tailings and sludge thickeners have experienced a reduction in the size and diameter required for the same solids feed rate.
Companies often hesitate between different equipment when choosing sludge thickening equipment, so this article compares two of the most popular sludge dewatering equipment - Decanter centrifuge and Filter Press - on the market for companies to choose from.
HUBER Disc Thickener S-DISCA slightly inclined, slowly rotating filter disc covered with a filter cloth separates flocc. lated sludge from filtrate. A bafle plate distributes the inflow evenly acro. s the entire filter radius. Sludge liquor collects on the bottom section of the filter disc so that a low hydrostatic pressure develops enhan.
Thickening and dewatering processes both provide a concentrated, consolidated product − retaining most of the solids from the original sludge – along with a diluted stream which …

thickeners (GBTs) tend to be the most commonly installed for waste activated sludge thickening applications
Beginners guide to thickeners. Thickening is a process where a slurry or solid-liquid mixture is separated to a dense slurry containing most of the solids and an overflow of essentially clear water (or liquor in leaching processes). The driving force for the separation is gravitational, where the differences in phase densities drive the ...
sludge thickening. Thickening is the first, and frequently inevitable, step in reducing the volume of sludge extracted from the water line. In fact, it is used to optimise the subsequent conditioning, stabilisation and …

New insight into sludge digestion mechanism for simultaneous sludge thickening and reduction using flat-sheet membrane-coupled aerobic digesters. Chemical Engineering Journal, 309, 41-48.
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) provides thickening of sludges (i.e. thickens the sludge) by encouraging the solids to float to the surface, rather than allowing them to sink as in gravity thickening.
The most common problems in thickener operations include the presence of suspended solids in the recovered water and the density or percentage of solids of the thickener discharge outside the set targets. These problems are classified according to whether they are caused by thickener design errors, changes in ore properties, or mechanical and ...
Gravity belt thickening (GBT) increases the sludge solids concentration (i.e. thickens the sludge) by allowing the water (or filtrate) to drain from the sludge under gravity through a permeable medium (a moving belt) on which the sludge sits. There are two types of belt-based processes for increasing sludge solids concentration.
