Sludge dewatering with the separation analyzer LUMiFuge 

Sludge dewatering is an import step in wastewater treatment and thus has an important impact on the effectiveness and cost of the overall treatment process.  Utilization of flocculants for sludge conditioning allows the application of high performance dewatering machines, such as high pressure filter presses and decanters.  Practical application studies of the sludge dewatering process and its control by flocculant addition require adequate laboratory methods.  At present numerous methods are used on laboratory scale, however, they are generally time-consuming and often lack practical relevance.
