Dehydration and transportation system for sludge
This system can dehydrate and transport sludge by only the power of the pump.
This system can perform dehydration and transportation of sludge with only one pump. Offensive odors do not leak outside of the device, because dehydration and transportation of the sludge happens in an airtight container. Facilities and maintenance costs are very low because this system can run automatically all day.
The problems of today’s sludge treatment and dehydration processing
- High cost of processing equipments
- High cost of maintenances
- Relatively larger building is required for the processing
Our system solved all.
Our system requires no separated transport system, no separated deodorization device or building.
Also, you may dehydrate and transport sludge by using only the power of the pump.
The filtration is cleaned automatically by a rotary screw driven by transportation of sludge.
The sludge is filtered at low pressure first, and at high pressure next. Dehydration is promoted efficiently with two different pressure phases. Dehydrated sludge can be transported without a conveyor and does not need a deodorization device.

When sludge density is light ,the vacuum concentration system functions effectively. The vacuum concentration technology is incorporated in a system shown in the chart below.
Why you should use our system?
The dehydration speed increases, because the density of sludge increases. The dehydrator filtration liquid becomes light density by supplying it to a vacuum concentrator. Dissolution gas of the sludge is degassed in a vacuum concentrator, decreasing any unpleasant odors.
Summery
- Our technology makes it possible to produce organic sludge by everyday sewage treatment easily.
- The construction costs for such a faculty can be low as this system requires no costly heavy conveyor systems and its building.
- Further more, it requires no separated deodorization facilities which allows the system to be perfectly sealed structure.
- The operations costs as well as facility maintenance costs are relatively very lower than current ordinal systems as this system can be run continuously without human operator.
Sludge Vacuum Concentration and Volume Reduction System
Dissolved gas is degassed from sludge under a vacuum to float and concentrate the sludge and reduce the sludge volume.
This invention makes it possible to:
- Degas the gas dissolved in sludge under a vacuum to float,
- Concentrate the sludge,
- Flocculate the sludge without using a coagulant
at the same time.
Frequent Problems: large power source and facilities for re-dehydration process required
When the concentration of sludge has been 1{659260bfee9de372d251cf0f46d0d196324d619c8a7170325fda8dcf2b881e37} or less, the dehydration processing of the sludge becomes more difficult.
Therefore, the volume reduction in activated sludge generated by the treatment of sewage and food factory drainage is in troubles often. Thus, as a pre-dehydration process, pressure floating concentration technology has been used.
For the work, Some large power source and facilities required, such as air compressors and stirrersare, a flocculation reaction tank where coagulant is added to flocculate the sludgenecessary for dehydration and volume reduction of the sludge by water treatment.

This new technology helps to resolve:
No need for a sludge concentration facility that requires a large power source and a large installation area
No need for a flocculation reaction tank that requires a stirring power source and a coagulant.
Other than pumps for supernatant liquid and sludge, there is no moving parts. You can build a low cost, simple and easy run facility.
Performance of vacuum concentration facility and cost comparison
The vacuum concentration facility consists of fewer devices compared with conventional mechanical concentration facilities. In addition, our company’s facility is compact, because the sludge retention time in our company’s facility is significantly shorter than that of facilities using other floating concentration methods. Thus, the facility cost and its maintenance cost are much lower, compared with those of facilities using other methods.The sludge concentration ratio and maximum concentration of our method are comparable to those of other methods. The solid recovery rate is ensured to be 90{659260bfee9de372d251cf0f46d0d196324d619c8a7170325fda8dcf2b881e37} or more.
Application to methane fermentation system
While the vacuum concentration dehydration system uses a water ejector as a vacuum device, there is a method for using heated steam as a high-speed fluid for the ejector. In this case, thermal reforming of concentrated sludge is possible due to steam condensation heat and cavitation effects. By thermal reforming, sludge dehydrability is enhanced and methane fermentation is facilitated. Vacuum treatment using a heated steam ejector has the following features:
- Due to sludge concentration and thermal treatment effects, sludge is reformed and its dehydrability is enhanced.
- Due to the heated steam concentration and cavitation effects,sludge is solubilized and methane fermentation is facilitated.
- Since digestion fluid can be concentrated again to re-digest solid materials, sludge can be digested in the digestion tank using high concentration fluid.
By this sludge concentration systems, the sludge treatment and the water treatment cost can be reduced by the following features for sludge reduction.
- By reducing the moisture content of dewatered sludge, sludge disposal costs can be reduced.
- The methane fermentation system by this technology can significantly improve the digestibility and reduce sludge disposal costs.
- The pretreatment system for wastewater including solids and oil by this technology can reduce the cost of water treatment.
