Sludge Dewatering Pilot Testing by PW Tech
Pilot testing plays a critical role in selecting sludge dewatering equipment for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. Each wastewater sludge presents a unique composition that influences the performance of the dewatering equipment. Therefore, tailored approaches are essential. Pilot testing serves as a validation that the equipment will operate effectively with the specific sludge, yielding crucial insights into expected throughput, cake solids, polymer consumption, and capture rate.
PW Tech’s highly skilled technicians conduct on-site pilot tests utilizing a mobile sludge dewatering trailer to produce reliable and accurate results. The goal is to identify the most suitable dewatering technology that delivers excellent performance and low operating costs. PW Tech recommends the best solution for the customer based on the data collected.
Furthermore, these pilot tests provide the necessary information for the proper application of the dewatering equipment in site-specific conditions, affording the opportunity for training plant personnel in the operation of the new equipment.
The PW Tech pilot test trailers include all the equipment needed to conduct the pilot test, including:
- Sludge feed pump
- Flow meter
- Polymer preparation and feed system
- Control panel with PLC and operator interface
Information from the pilot test gives you the performance data needed for the design of the dewatering project.
The Volute Press model sizes range from 10 GPM to 300 GPM, with a small footprint, and space for additional dewatering drums can be provided for future requirements. The Volute Press is engineered for wastewater treatment plant operators.
