Sludge treatment
Alfa Laval supplies wastewater treatment solutions that cover the entire sludge treatment process, including sludge dewatering, sludge thickening, thermal sludge treatment, sludge post-treatment, and resource recovery. With our long heritage in the water industries, we combine extensive knowledge and expertise with proven IoT solutions, including full range of control systems that reduce polymer and energy use, reduce manpower requirements, and thus effectively optimize operation.
Benefits of our sludge treatment solutions
- Reduce waste disposal by up to 90%, saving on transportation, effluent disposal, storage and drying costs
- Unlock new revenue streams from resource recovery
- Minimize environmental impacts with efficient, sustainable processes
- Lower operating costs through enhanced plant efficiency
- Optimize polymer and energy use to the extent of overall operation to meet stricter standards
On-site sludge thickening and sludge dewatering is a fundamental part of all current wastewater treatment processes to reduce sludge volume, waste disposal cost and meet sustainability requirements. It is also highly relevant for sludge to be used as digester feed for biogas production, thermal processes and composting. To meet every plant's unique need, Alfa Laval offers robust, well-proven technologies from thickening, dewatering to thermal sludge handling, helping you to sharpen your sludge management and sustainability profile.
