The use of sludge enhancer (or sludge conditioner) is an effective way to solve the problem of sludge dehydration. Sludge enhancers can significantly improve the dewatering performance of sludge, increase the dewatering efficiency and reduce the moisture content of sludge, thus reducing the burden and cost of subsequent treatment. The following is a detailed analysis of the use of sludge synergists to solve the problem of sludge dewatering:
1. Mechanism of action of sludge synergists
Sludge enhancers improve the dewatering performance of sludge through their specific chemical or physical mechanism of action. Specifically, they can destroy the colloidal structure in the sludge, so that the binding force between the sludge particles is weakened, and it is easy to disperse and dehydrate. At the same time, they can also neutralize the negative charge in the sludge, promote the sedimentation and settlement of the sludge particles, and improve the dehydration effect.
Two, the advantages of using sludge synergists
Improve dewatering efficiency: sludge synergists can significantly shorten the dewatering time, improve the dewatering efficiency, and quickly reduce the sludge moisture content to a lower level.
Reduce moisture content: After sludge enhancer treatment, the moisture content of the sludge can be significantly reduced to below 35%~60%, to meet the requirements of subsequent treatment or disposal.
Reduce equipment corrosion and blockage: compared with the traditional sludge dehydrating agent, the sludge enhancer is less corrosive to the equipment, and is not easy to cause the blockage of the filter cloth, which extends the service life of the equipment.
Reduce treatment costs: Although the use of sludge enhancers will increase a certain amount of agent costs, due to its improved dehydration efficiency and reduced water content, thereby reducing the cost of subsequent treatment or disposal, overall help to reduce treatment costs.
Precautions for the use of sludge synergist for plate and frame machine
Select the right sludge synergist: according to the nature of the sludge and treatment requirements, choose the right sludge synergist. Different sludge enhancers have different mechanisms of action and effects, and the most suitable agent should be determined by experimental verification.
Control dosage: The dosage of sludge enhancer should be reasonably controlled according to the nature of sludge, treatment scale and equipment conditions. Excessive dosage will not only increase the cost, but also may have a negative impact on the treatment effect.
Optimize operating conditions: In the process of using sludge synergist, the operating conditions of the filter press should be optimized, such as adjusting parameters such as pressure, filtration time and feed speed, in order to obtain the best dehydration effect.
Regular maintenance and cleaning equipment: regular maintenance and cleaning of the filter press to maintain the good operating condition and filtration effect of the equipment. In particular, the easily blocked parts such as filter cloth should be cleaned and replaced in time.
In summary, the use of sludge enhancer in plate and frame machine is an effective way to solve the problem of sludge dehydration. By selecting appropriate sludge enhancer, controlling dosage, optimizing operation conditions and maintaining equipment regularly, the dewatering efficiency, water content and treatment cost of sludge can be significantly improved.
