Disc Screw Press Flow

How the Disc Screw Press Compact Skid Works
- Sludge is pumped from the sludge holding tank or can be taken directly from source e.g. aeration tank, which means costly upstream storage tanks are not necessary.
- After the feed pump polymer is dosed into the feed line
- The sludge and polymer mix pass through the inline rapid mixer, this thoroughly mixes the sludge and polymer, helping to ensure minimal polymer consumption.
- The sludge and polymer mix passes from the rapid mixer outlet to the Flocculation Tank, here a slow mixer helps bind the contaminates together and separate them from the liquid fraction.
- The flocculated mix drops from the flocculation tank outlet to the Screw press dewatering section. Level sensors are used in the flocculation tank to prevent overflow.
- The Screw Press consists of a cylinder which houses the screw press running at low speed. The cylinder consists of spacers, fixed and moving stainless steel discs. The moving discs have a smaller outer diameter than the screw. As the screw operates, the moving rings continuously clean the sludge from the gaps allowing filtrate to pass and ensure clog free operation.
- As the sludge progresses along the screw, the pitch narrows, increasing the pressure and dewatering efficiency.
- The dewatered sludge is low volume the cost of disposal and transport is massively reduced.
- Filtrate is returned back to start of Effluent
