How to Improve Dewatering And Thickening Performance While A Facility Is Under Construction?

When a major facility upgrade requires a complete shutdown of primary dewatering and thickening infrastructure, managing daily sludge accumulation becomes a critical regulatory and operational hurdle. Faced with tight construction timelines, a municipal water resource facility needed a reliable, temporary solution to maintain continuous processing and avoid costly system interruptions.

Deploying preconfigured, mobile rental systems equipped with advanced solid-liquid-gas conditioning technology allowed the facility to seamlessly bridge the operational gap. Rather than simply maintaining status quo operations, the temporary setup enhanced efficiency across the entire biosolids train. Dewatering performance saw a substantial lift, increasing dry cake solids from a historical 18% up to 23%, which directly reduced hauling volume and associated trucking costs. Concurrently, thickening performance optimized sludge solids concentrations while driving down polymer consumption, resulting in six-figure operational savings.
