Sludge enhancer is a kind of chemical agent specially used for sludge dewatering treatment, its main components include inorganic compounds, sludge surface structure modifier, degreaser, wall breaking agent, sludge surface treatment agent, sludge stripping agent, etc. These components work together to improve the dewatering performance of the sludge, increase the dewatering efficiency, and reduce the water content of the sludge, so as to achieve effective reduction of the sludge.
The main role of sludge synergist
Improve sludge dewatering performance: sludge enhancer can destroy the bacterial structure and cell wall in the sludge, release bound water, and neutralize the charge on the surface of the sludge particles, reduce the viscosity and specific surface area of the sludge, so that the sludge particles are easier to aggregate and settle, thereby improving the dewatering performance.
Improve dewatering efficiency: By adding sludge synergists, the moisture content of sludge can be significantly reduced, reducing it from a higher level (such as more than 90%) to a lower level (such as 40%-60%), and achieving effective reduction of sludge.
Reduce treatment costs: The use of sludge synergists can reduce the wear and maintenance costs of dehydration equipment, and because of its high efficiency, it can shorten the dehydration cycle and improve treatment efficiency, thereby reducing the overall treatment cost.
Dewatering equipment for sludge enhancers
Sludge enhancers are widely used in a variety of sludge dewatering equipment, including but not limited to the following:
Plate and frame filter press: Plate and frame filter press is a device that separates the water in the sludge by pressure. The addition of sludge enhancer can reduce the content of water, improve the dehydration effect, and make the filter press more efficient in the treatment of high concentration and high turbidity sludge.
Belt filter press: The belt filter press uses the filter belt to pressurize the sludge and dehydrate it. In this process, sludge enhancers are added to the sludge to promote the separation of water and improve the efficiency of dehydration. The belt filter press is suitable for small and medium-sized sewage treatment plants and industrial wastewater treatment plants.
Centrifugal dewatering machine: Centrifugal dewatering machine uses centrifugal force to separate the water in the sludge. Adding sludge enhancer to the centrifugal dewatering machine can increase the dewatering effect and reduce the moisture content of the sludge. Centrifugal dewatering machines are suitable for treating high concentration sludge, such as sludge in sludge thickening tanks and digestion tanks.
Other dewatering equipment: In addition to the above common dewatering equipment, sludge enhancers can also be applied to other types of equipment such as centrifugal dehydrators, filter press screw machines, and vacuum filters. The specific choice of equipment depends on the nature of the sludge, the scale of treatment and treatment requirements.
Sum up
As an efficient sludge dewatering treatment agent, sludge enhancer has significant advantages in sludge reduction, increasing dewatering efficiency and reducing treatment cost. It is suitable for a variety of sludge dewatering equipment, and provides strong technical support for the sludge treatment industry.
