Sludge conditioning
Homogeneous and reliable
Sludge that requires treatment is formed during a wide range of processes:
- Sewage sludge from waste water purification plants
- Drill sludge
- Sludge from flue gas purification plants
- Sludge from settling basins
- Harbor silt
The consistency of sludge can range from low-viscosity and paste-like to semi-solid. Sludge conditioning may be necessary in order to:
- Adjust its consistency for specific purposes (e.g., to make it pumpable or free-flowing)
- Immobilize pollutants in the sludge
Depending on the application, our single-shaft continuous mixers (type MFKG) or twin-shaft continuous mixers (type LFK) as well as our twin-shaft batch mixers (type DKX) are used for conditioning sludge. We also offer peripheral equipment or even complete installations including metering and control technology.
