Sludge Dewatering
SNF enhances water treatment, sludge handling, and cooling-tower efficiency in cement plants.
Zone Introduction
Dewatering wastewater sludge is essential to minimize volume and reduce handling & disposal costs.
Process Description
Cement sludge contains extremely fine particulate matter mixed with high moisture, which makes mechanical dewatering difficult. Load is continuous due to heavy solids movement inside the plant.
Water Quality Issues & Root Causes
- Sticky cement fines trap water → Poor filter performance
- High alkaline pH → High polymer dosing demand
- High solids loading → Filter choking
Performance Loss & Compliance Impact
Excess water in sludge → Higher transport and landfill expense
Frequent media cleaning → Lower throughput
More operator involvement → Cost escalation
