Sludge is a faux dirty type of waste that is created when other dirty types of waste — water — comes from water-cleaning plants, which is also known as wastewater treatment plants. Sludge is what we call the leftover gunk that we cannot to see when water is cleaned. Sludge needs to be properly managed because if not, it can harm the environment. So, we need a special machine to use, called a sludge thickener by BOEEP.
It is a special machine used to separate water from sludge. You can imagine it as a sieve that separates different things. Sludge thickener when working takes a mixture of water and sludge and helps to separate it. The BOEEP Sludge Drying Equipment thickens and densifies the sludge until it has more solids or less water. This sludge can then be properly treated and disposed of in a way that doesn’t harm our planet.
Saves Money: Thicker sludge occupies less space. That makes it easier to transport, and thus requires fewer trucks to haul the sludge away. Dotting the landscape with fewer trucks saves on fuel and transportation costs, and ultimately saves money for the treatment plants.
The sludge treatment and the disposal of sludge in a proper manner is very important to protect the environment. When sludge is properly managed, it poses no threat to the air, soil, or water. This matters tremendously, because cleaner air and cleaner water saves lives and creates healthier communities. BOEEP Sludge thickeners maintain people's interest in moving around in a clean environment.
Size of Your Facility: One of the biggest factors to consider is the size of your facility. Bigger facilities produce more sludge, so they’ll need larger machines to process all that Sludge efficiently. A small machine might not be able to handle all the sludge.
Type of sludge: There are a few different kinds of sludge and some machines do better with certain types. For example, some of the sludge could actually be thicker, could be different materials. Selecting a machine that is engineered to process the type of sludge in your facility is crucial.
Your Budget: Sludge thickeners are available at various price points, so you’ll want to think about how much you can — or are willing — to spend. You want to find a sludge thickener, that fits both you budget and does the job you need it to do. Open the door to slight spending, that leads to greater results in the long run.
