Filter Press Using Report Filter Cake Moisture content
The problem the beverage producers then faced was how to dewater the sludge that was created. Various alternatives, such as sludge drying beds, belt filter presses and recessed chamber presses were considered. Representative samples of the sludge were created by simulating the chemical treatment of several hundred gallons of typical wastewater. These samples were sent to the Leo Filter Press’s lab, in China The oil and grease content in the sludge inhibited effective dewatering, but the combination of pH control and a high molecular weight polymer created good flocculation of solids and effective dewatering was possible.
Based on these results, those beverage producers elected to purchase several recessed chamber filter presses to dewater the sludge generated by the chemical treatment of their average wastewater flow of 750,000 gpd. The technicians at Siemens Water Technologies worked closely with beverage producer operating personnel doing on-site test work with full automatic PLC control.
