Gravity-Belt-Thickener solidXdrain
For thickening municipal surplus sludge to 5-8% DS
Water drained from sludge by gravity filtration. High quality, special sieve belts, clog-free baffle plates and adjustable flow ramps are crucial to the efficiency of this solidXdrain.
Features of solidXdrain
- Large, active filtration area
- Thin sludge feed gentle on floccs
- High-quality, special sieve belts adjusted to the sludge
- Clog-free, individually adjustable baffle plates
- DS content adjusted via an adjustable ramp
- Internal splash guard encapsulation
- Large access and control flap valves
Advantages:
- Low return loading due to separation efficiencies up to 99%
- Low polymer consumption of approx. 2-3 kg WS/t-DS
- Reduced power demand from energy-efficient drives
- Simplified and minimised operator input
- Long service life and low maintenance costs due to high quality components
- Sludge filtrate used for belt cleaning
Applications:
- Solid / liquid separation of suspensions
- Thickening sludges from water and wastewater treatment plants
- Volume reduction for optimised digester operation and reduced disposal costs
