Sludge cake reduction is what many plant operators have in mind recently with ever-increasing disposal cost. But further reduction equipment is very costly and not very efficient.
An Electro-Osmosis Dehydrator might be a better option for a lot of plants. In just 3 minutes it will removes far more water after typical sludge cake is dewatered using belt press, screw press, rotary press, or centrifuge. Imagine reducing your sludge disposal cost by 60% and landfill acceptable by having much drier sludge cake.
Elode dehydrator can reduce your cake weight efficiently and at a much lower expense and equipment cost. This compact machine can easily retrofit in line with many existing presses. This dewatering machine does not use thermal heat energy to pull water away from your sludge cake. It is so efficient the sludge cake never gets too hot to the touch! It uses electrical potential difference in the sludge cake to separate water in their process and it works on 95% of municipal WWTP sludge cake tested. That is done without any chemical, polymer, heat, nor mechanical press.
