Thickener
An industrial thickener is designed for solid-liquid separation through sedimentation, concentrating sludge and solid slurries to a higher density. By utilizing gravity settling and mechanical raking mechanisms, it separates clarified overflow liquid from underflow settled solids efficiently.
Application
- Effluent treatment plants (ETP) biological sludge thickening
- Municipal wastewater secondary clarifier sludge concentration
- Mining, mineral processing, and ore slurry dewatering
- Chemical processing and industrial slurry management
- Paper and pulp mill wastewater clarification systems
Technical specification
- Type: Gravity sludge thickener, high-rate thickener, or mechanical rake mechanism assembly
- Capacity Range: Custom-engineered tank dimensions and solid loading rates per day
- Drive Unit: Heavy-duty motorized worm gear drive with torque protection systems
- Underflow Control: Automated sludge extraction pumps and valve networks
- MOC: Carbon steel with anti-corrosive epoxy lining, SS 304, or SS 316 wetted parts
Features
- High solid concentration efficiency reducing subsequent dewatering volumes
- Robust mechanical raking system preventing compaction and clogging
- Optimized overflow weir design for maximum clarified liquid recovery
- Corrosion-resistant internal components built for continuous wet sludge exposure
- Low operational power consumption with high structural reliability
