Sludge enhancer: A key technology for addressing the problem of high sludge moisture content

Sludge treatment is an important part of the wastewater treatment process, and the high moisture content of sludge has always been a major problem for the industry. The high moisture content not only increases the volume of sludge and the treatment cost, but also affects the effectiveness of subsequent disposal (such as landfilling, incineration or resource utilization). Sludge enhancers, as an efficient chemical agent, can significantly reduce the moisture content of sludge and improve the dewatering efficiency, and have become one of the key technologies in the field of sludge treatment.

The problem and challenge of high sludge moisture content:

Large volume: Sludge with high moisture content has a large volume, resulting in high transportation and disposal costs.

High processing difficulty: Traditional dehydration methods (such as mechanical filtration and centrifugal dehydration) have limited effectiveness for sludge with high moisture content.

High disposal cost: Landfilling or incineration of sludge with high moisture content requires additional energy or space.

Environmental impact: Sludge with high moisture content is prone to generating leachate, which can pollute the soil and groundwater.

The working principle of the sludge enhancer:

The sludge enhancer reduces the moisture content of the sludge through the following mechanisms:

Charge neutralization: Neutralize the negative charges on the surface of the sludge particles, promoting particle aggregation.

Bridge effect: By connecting the sludge particles through polymer chains, larger flocs are formed.

Improving water filtration: Altering the physical structure of the sludge to enhance the filtration efficiency of the dewatering equipment.

Reduce bound water: Destabilize the structure of bound water in the sludge, releasing more free water.

The core advantage of the sludge enhancer:

Highly efficient dewatering: It can reduce the moisture content of the sludge from 80% - 95% to below 60%.

Cost savings: Reduce the energy consumption and the amount of chemicals used by the dehydration equipment.

Adaptable: Suitable for various types of sludge, including municipal sludge and industrial sludge (such as from papermaking, dyeing, and chemical industries).

Environmental safety: No secondary pollution, in line with environmental protection requirements.

Take the municipal sludge treatment as an example. In a certain project, after using Shijun Sludge Enhancer, :

Improvement in dehydration efficiency: The moisture content of the sludge decreased from 85% to 58%.

Increase in processing capacity: The sludge processing volume per unit time has increased by 30%.

Stable operation: The equipment blockage rate decreases, and maintenance costs are reduced.

Significant economic benefits: Overall cost savings of over 20%.

The sludge enhancer, with its high efficiency, economicity and environmental friendliness, has become an ideal solution for the problem of high moisture content in sludge. With the continuous advancement of technology, its application prospects in the field of sludge treatment will be even broader.
