Belt Dryer Is A Game-Changer For The Sludge Handling Process

A wastewater plant uses an activated sludge secondary process that utilizes a biological process that introduces microbes as soon as the flow enters the plant. If the crew does their jobs right, the microbes work from beginning to end and multiply along the way to help break down the waste into useable sludge.

This plant needed technology that could:

• Reduce the weight of the plant’s sludge end-product
• Maintain or improve the safety in the plant
• Fit into the plant’s green policies
• Operate with minimal maintenance

With the BT Belt Dryer in place, the plant had the opportunity to put next level efficiencies and effectiveness in place. While they knew that the belt dryer would help to reduce the water in their sludge, they were surprised when Huber’s technology began to produce other types of savings and benefits.
