The use of modified polymer products (sludge enhancers) is an effective way to reduce the moisture content of sludge. Sludge enhancers usually contain inorganic compounds, sludge surface structure modifier, degreaser, wall breaking agent, sludge surface treatment agent and sludge stripping agent, which work together to significantly improve the dewatering effect of sludge. The following is a detailed discussion on the use of sludge enhancer to reduce sludge moisture content:
Mechanism of action of sludge synergists
Electrical neutralization:
The cationic polymer in the sludge synergist can electrically neutralize the negatively charged particles in the sludge, destroy the stable structure of the sludge, and make it easy to dehydrate.
Adsorption bridge:
The polymer in the sludge synergist can form a network structure, adsorb on the surface of the sludge particles, and connect multiple sludge particles together through the bridging effect to form a large floc, which is easy to press filtration and dehydration.
Wall breaking action:
The wall breaking agent in the sludge synergist can destroy the sludge cell wall, release the water in the cell, and make the sludge more easily dehydrated.
Application advantages of sludge synergists
Good dehydration effect:
Sludge enhancer can significantly reduce the moisture content of sludge and improve the dewatering efficiency of sludge.
Less dosage:
Compared with the traditional dehydrating agent, the sludge enhancer has less dosage and lower cost.
Does not change the sludge properties:
After the use of sludge enhancer, the properties and organic matter content of the sludge remain basically unchanged, and the pH value and salt content of the filtrate will not be changed.
High efficiency:
Sludge enhancer can accelerate the dewatering process of sludge, shorten the treatment time and improve the treatment efficiency.
Precautions for the use of sludge synergists
Select the right synergist:
According to the nature of sludge and dehydration requirements, select the appropriate sludge synergistic dosage form and dosage.
Correct use of synergists:
When using sludge enhancers, it should be strictly operated in accordance with the product instructions to avoid excessive use or improper use leading to poor results or increased costs.
Regular inspection of sludge quality:
After the use of sludge enhancer, the quality indicators of sludge, such as moisture content and organic matter content, should be regularly tested to evaluate the use effect of the enhancer.
Attention to environmental protection and safety:
When using sludge synergists, attention should be paid to environmental protection and safety issues to avoid pollution to the environment or harm to human health.
In summary, the use of modified polymer products (sludge enhancers) is an effective way to reduce the moisture content of sludge. The dewatering effect and treatment efficiency of sludge can be significantly improved by selecting suitable sludge enhancer, using sludge enhancer correctly and checking sludge quality regularly.
