"sludge drying beds" and "sludge lagoons" [13; 9; 22]. 1.2. Sludge Drying Beds (SDB) Drying beds have been used since the beginning of the twentieth century [23].Drying of the sludge can be divided into two different stages, namely drainage and evaporation [24; 21]. Drying is the process, which can remove high amount of water from sludge.

A belt filter press (BFP) provides sludge dewatering by pressing the sludge to force the water through a permeable medium. The process produces a cake (the dewatered product) having a dry solids (DS) content of 30% or more in the case of primary sludge. This is to be distinguished from the lower-energy gravity belt thickener process …

Sludge consolidation processes can be categorised as either thickening or dewatering, depending on the extent of water removal.Thickened sludge retains the free-flowing liquid-like properties of sludge. Dewatered sludge (called cake) has a higher suspended solids concentration.The cake does not flow like a liquid and so cannot be …

Thickening. Thickening processes are those which concentrate the sludge by removing part of the free water, i.e. the water not associated with the sludge particles or flocs. In doing so, the finished product retains the liquid, free-flowing characteristics of the feed sludge, so that it can still be conveyed by pumping.
