2019-2-14 · Thickening is the process by which biosolids are condensed to produce a concentrated solids product and are relatively solids-free supernatant (the relatively clear water layer between the sludge on the bottom and the scum on the surface of a tank or basin, an anaerobic digester, or a septic tank (interceptor)).
contact usSettling-thickening tanks are used to achieve separation of the liquid and solid fractions of faecal sludge (FS). They were fi rst developed for primary wastewater treatment, and for clarifi cation following secondary wastewater treatment, and it is the same mechanism for solids-liquid separation as that employed in septic tanks. Settling-thickening tanks for FS treatment are rectangular tanks ...
contact usThickening. A volume reduction of approximately 30 – 80 % can be reached with sludge thickening before a further treatment. At smaller wastewater treatment plants, where the sludge is driven off regularly, thickening usually takes place directly in the sludge storage tank.
