Sludge Handling

Sludge Handling

Centrifuge Conveyor5 Aerobic Digesters, 2 Holding Tanks and a centrifuge make up this system. The Waste Activated Sludge flows through a series of aerobic digesters, breaking down the sludge further. The last tanks to be used are the holding tanks, where sludge is stored until we dewater it using a centrifuge. The water from this stage is fed back to the plant and solids are sent to a landfill.
