For example, a well run gravity thickening operation will save costs incurred in downstream solids handlg steps. In addition, facilities that land apply liquid biosolids can benefit from thickening in several ways, as follows: Truck traffic at the plant and the
Gravity thickening is usually used for primary and mixed sludge, as well as the ones derived from a physical chemical process. If the sludge treatment line includes their aerobic stabilization, the thickener is generally positioned after this, as this process does not require very high sludge concentrations, not above 2 2.5 , for its proper operation. Flotation is unsuitable for concentrating

Introduction Gravity belt thickener The Alfa Laval AS H Belt Thickener is considered the industry standard for superior value, performance and durability where removal of a liquid usually water from a solid liquid suspension/sludge, is required.
The Ovivo ® sludge thickener is designed to continuously produce as thick a sludge as possible from streams of sludge previously formed and collected in separate settling basins. Included with the thickener mechanism are Ovivo's durable heavy duty drives. The drive is designed to handle the specified torque for 20 years of continuous operation, but we have seen drives still in operation after
Applications to thickener operation. The major benefit of the batch flux curve is during operation. The curve plots the solids loading and expected underflow concentration, and determines the required pumping rate to achieve the greatest separation from the equipment. The idea is to ach ieve a critically loaded settling unit. This is done by constructing operating lines as illustrated in the

Using gravity to thicken dilute sludge and slurries, the Alfa Laval AS H belt thickener is suitable for all municipal or industrial flocculated sludges particularly those from biological and activated sludge processes. Low energy and polymer consumption and trouble free operation give important reductions in both cost and hassle for wastewater management.
The thickener covers arelatively small area, the construction cost and the flocculant requirement areboth small, thus the operation cost will be reduced. Second, now the laborcost is the most expensive. The biggest advantage of thickeners is achievingfully automatic operation, without the need for personnel on duty, but also toensure the work efficiency. Category: Urban and Industrial

The basic principle of Lackeby Gravity thickener scraper is that the vertical scraperpresses the sludge. The water is squeezed from the sludge and moves upwards. The scraper moves the sludge to the centre of the thickener from where it is removed for further treatment.
