As an organization seeking the most cost-effective method of introducing dewatering of your waste, a sludge dewatering box will enable you to separate the water in batches, and this can be a cost-effective method to use compared to the alternatives.
Of the many different types of sludge dewatering boxes or containers available, you should choose the option that is best for your specific requirements. Some require permanent filters, and others use disposable options.
While repayment of your capital expense maybe your chief concern, your choice of filters, materials and construction will affect your overall costs.
Consider Your Filter Choices
For permanent filters within your sludge dewatering box, there will be a bottom filter and potentially filter support and sidewall filters. This is to increase the area that can be filtered in relation to the volume of waste passing through. Simply, the more filter area provided, then the more effluent water can be sifted and returned for secondary water use.
Some organizations use an additional chemical treatment as part of the process of using dewatering containers to process liquid waste. The chemicals are designed to help the solids bind together, so they are easier to filter through the dewatering container.
It is important to choose your dewatering equipment because they are not all designed to work with a continuous flow of liquid. Dewatering containers may be used to move the sludge at wastewater treatment plants, through their system.
The containers for dewatering are simple to operate as they have no moving parts. The water is separated from the waste which means that the two separate finished products can be moved individually to the relevant final resting area.
These containers are relatively free of any maintenance requirements except for a general cleaning after each complete dump. Each dewatering piece of equipment can be permanently mounted or placed on a trailer for moving from one location to another.
