ABSTRACT:
Sewage sludge is dewatered in a two-stage process. The first stage dewaters the sludge to a solids content above about 40 to 45 wt. %. The first zone comprises a cylindrical porous chamber with a centrally mounted screw conveyor which does not contact the porous wall of the chamber. The second stage further dewaters the sludge. The second stage applies pressure directly, as with a piston, to a stationary quantity of sludge which is in contact with a porous wall. The effectiveness of the second stage is increased through use of the first stage, which reduces the thixotropic nature of the sludge by dewatering it.
