Dewatering optimization with in line and real time
2017 5 25 Dewatering plays a key role in reducing the cost of sludge biosolids treatment and final disposal. Sludge dewatering is the second highest cost area in a wastewater treatment plant following electrical utility costs, and a small 1 MGD plant can save $200,000/year by optimizing its polymer dose .In addition, improvements to dewatering can significantly reduce the carbon
