Sludge enhancer plays a key role in the deep dewatering process of plate and frame sludge. This sludge enhancer is usually a modified polymer product with multiple functions that can significantly improve the deep dewatering effect of the sludge.
The main features of sludge enhancers include:
Improve the size and thickness of the mud biscuit: the sludge synergist can greatly improve the dryness and thickness of the mud cake, making the dehydrated sludge easier to handle and use.
Fast reaction speed: This sludge synergist can react quickly with solids in the sludge, reduce residual substances in the filtrate, and improve the settling rate and water yield.
No change in sludge properties: After the use of sludge synergists, the properties of the sludge will not change, and there is no adverse effect on pH value and organic matter.
High comprehensive cost performance: sludge synergist has the advantages of less dosage, low cost, good treatment effect, etc., which can reduce the cost of solid waste treatment for enterprises.
In the process of deep dewatering of plate and frame sludge, the use of sludge enhancer in combination with plate and frame filter press can give full play to its advantages. The plate and frame filter press is composed of the plate and frame interphase arrangement, the filter plate and the filter frame are provided with grooves and holes as filtrate channels, and the filter cloth is sandwiched between the plate and frame. The sludge stock liquid is pressed into the filter frame from the feed port under the action of the pump or compressed air, filtered by the filter cloth, the filtrate is discharged, and the filter residue deposits in the filter frame to form mud cake.
In the process of using the plate and frame filter press, adding the sludge synergist can significantly improve the dehydration effect. First, the sludge enhancer can change the physical and chemical properties of the surface of the sludge particles, making it easy to aggregate and precipitate. Secondly, the sludge synergist can reduce the surface load and specific surface area of the sludge solid, destroy the bacterial structure, and further improve the dehydration efficiency.
In addition, the use of sludge synergists can also achieve all-weather unattended operation, reducing labor costs and labor intensity. At the same time, due to the reduction of residual substances in the filtrate, the settlement rate is accelerated, and the water output is increased, the time of the entire press section can be shortened and the production efficiency can be improved.
In short, the sludge enhancer has significant advantages and effects in the deep dewatering process of plate and frame sludge. By selecting suitable sludge synergists and optimizing operation parameters, it can provide strong support for enterprises to realize efficient and low-cost sludge treatment.
