Sludge Dewatering

Sludge Dewatering

Stockcode:

From Primary Filter Backwash

Sludge is a major economic and environmental concern. Sludge refers to the residual, semi-solid material waste produced by industrial wastewater or municipal water treatment processes. Large primary filters remove vast amounts of solids from large volumes of water. Sludge dewatering is the further separation process of solids from these waters. This is commonly the final step for cleaning wastewater from industries and water treatment plants. Sludge usually has a very high water percentage content that can be reclaimed through dewatering. The need for reduction of high liquid content sludge is becoming more evident as the volume of generated wastewater solids increases and becomes a growing concern to local municipalities and industry. The Oberlin Filter’s ability to remove 99.9% of solids from water leaving  a dry cake makes it very effective in dewatering sludge. The filtered water is clean enough to be sent to municipal treatment facilities or to be recycled for reuse with industrial operations. The removed solids are extremely dry and acceptable for the landfill all while saving money in disposal costs.
 
A widely used sludge dewatering aid is Diatomaceous Earth. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is the processed version of the skeletal remains of single celled plants called diatoms. It is used as a filter aid in various processes resulting in a large amount of wet slurry. 

The Oberlin Filter is used as an excellent dewatering piece of equipment that enables the process of reclaiming the majority of liquid in the slurry leaving a Dry Cake ofDiatomaceous Earth. (Also known as Diatomite Sludge)

About us

Oberlin Filter Company is been guided by one principle: make filters that really work. Our excellent group of experienced engineers, salesmen, designers, welders, plumbers, electricians, servicemen, and laboratory technicians work with our customers to determine the best system for their application. We build it ourselves, help start it and provide support throughout its lifetime. There are Oberlin filters that have been operating continuously for over 40 years.
 
We are a family owned and operated business. Three generations of our family have worked hard to build filters and treatment systems that are dependable, reliable and get the job done. Our founder, Wayne Oberlin, started Oberlin Filter by making one filter at a time. His son, Tom Oberlin, developed and expanded our filtration technology making Oberlin Filter a global leader in liquid solid separation. This attention to detail and tenacity of spirit has enabled Oberlin Filter to grow into an international company that still calls Waukesha, WI home.
 
We are an engineering company. Our engineers are your project managers and are responsible to you for the filter’s satisfactory operation. They supervise your order from initial design stage, through production and startup. They are always available for support.
