Measuring total solids concentration during sludge dewatering
With the addition of flocculants, this mechanical process can bring the sewage sludge to a dry content of 25 – 40 wt.%. Prior to the addition, the solids content is determined by a microwave measurement, which enables an ideal dosage adjusted to the sludge. This ensures considerable savings in flocculation aids and considerably reduced operating costs for dewatering.
Technical features
- Reliable online concentration measurement
- Representative output with microwave transmission measurement through entire pipe or through product stream
- No wear of components
- Precise measurement with only one calibration coefficient even with different sludges
- Automatic temperature compensation
- Maintenance-free measuring system
Customer benefits
- Precise determination of the dry content in the inlet and outlet of the centrifuge
- Increase in sewage sludge yield
- Reduction in the use of chemicals
- Non-optical measurement, therefore unaffected by impurities
- Automation of the dewatering process
- Reduction of transport costs
- Electricity savings through shorter pumping times
