Municipalities are responsible for treating domestic and industrial wastewater as well as providing clean potable water for general use. These systems provide homes, businesses, and industries a solution for the disposal of sewage and other nonreusable materials. They are among the most important factors responsible for the general level of good health in the United States.
The main by-product from wastewater treatment plants is a type of sludge consisting of liquids and solids. The sludge must be further processed to separate the liquid and solid portions to the greatest extent possible. Sludge dewatering system designs are based on several factors such as physical characteristics, volume, space constraints and available disposal options. The typical desired result for most applications is a dry filter cake produced by a filter press and filtrate with minimum suspended solids. The ultimate goal is to treat the liquid portion of the sludge so it can be reused/discharged. The solids portion is treated so it can be reused/disposed of in the most economical and or environmentally responsible manner available.
PHOENIX provides equipment and technologies for dewatering sludge and residual solids from municipal water and wastewater treatment. PHOENIX Belt Filter Presses and Filter Presses are used in hundreds of municipal water and wastewater treatment plants worldwide.
