Sludge treatment and disposal at reduced operating costs

Optimal dewatering and digester processes help to save costs and to drive the production of biogas

Sludge treatment and disposal into the environment is increasingly regulated worldwide, driving the wastewater industry to explore new solutions for sludge disposal, incurring significant costs. To reduce such costs, sludge dewatering to reduce its volume ready for drying or incineration is common. Sludge digestion is also used to provide biogas, a rich energy source. Our monitoring solutions support optimal sludge management, from dewatering efficiency to digester control.

Application

Accurate sludge conditioner preparation

Polymer solutions for sludge conditioning must be prepared by dilution on site. Polymer solutions are costly, and in order to achieve stable dewatering results and long dewatering cycles, a harmonized polymer concentration is essential.

Our expertise in the field

Our proven portfolio of highly accurate magmeters enables optimal polymer solution concentration and polymer consumption.

Improved dewatering results

Because the achieved polymer concentration can vary, an optimal ratio between polymer and suspended solids in the sludge is not always guaranteed.

Our expertise in the field

Our Coriolis mass flowmeter measure flow and media density opening the possibility of constant polymer agent dosage to the sludge stream and improves the dewatering results significantly.

Optimal sludge concentration

Optimized dewatering results are also dependent upon controlled incoming sludge concentration. Density measurement is an established option guaranteeing stable and good sludge dewatering.

Our expertise in the field

Through combining our highly accurate magmeterfor volume flow with a density sensor you can achieve stable and good sludge dewatering results.

Efficient digester processes

Beneficial bacteria must be protected against critical conditions in the sludge digester process.

Our expertise in the field

Our process controls enable you to guarantee an environment within which digester bacteria may flourish.

Precise flow and methane measurements in wet biogas

Biogas flow rate and methane concentration are critical parameters indicating process disturbances in anaerobic sludge digestion. However, environmental conditions such as large flow dynamics, water-saturated biogas, changing methane concentration and extremely low pressure make measuring these parameters difficult for most devices.

Our expertise in the field

Our unique ultrasonic flow devices offer a solution to the challenge of measuring biogas flow rate and methane concentration.
