 Challenge
Process-technical optimisation of the sludge dewatering by an effective and reliable metering of synthetic flocculants (polyelectrolyte)
Solution
- Ultromat® ATFP 2500 2-chamber batch system for the preparation of liquid and solid flocculants to prepare a 0.05 - 0.5 % polymer solution
- Precise addition of the liquid flocculant by using metering pumps
 Customer benefits
- Fully-automatic operation with a minimum of staff and maintenance
- Optimisation of the sludge dewatering through high dewatering ratio
- Reduction of the sludge disposal costs by obtaining higher dewatering ratios (high dry matter contents of 30 %).
Customers voice
“Thanks to the effective and reliable generation and addition of flocculants with the polyelectrolyte preparation
and dosing system Ultromat®, we are obtaining a very high dewatering ratio in the generated digestive sludge.
This means that we obtain a relatively dry residual sludge with a very high dry matter contents. We are thus
saving considerably with regard to the disposal of residual sludge”
