Leading the Way in Advanced Sludge Conditioning and Dewatering Solutions

13/03/2024 By Gen Lynch

Sludge conditioning and dewatering

At JIPL Engineering, we recognise that effective sludge management is crucial for the environmental and economic health of industries and municipalities. Our commitment to sustainability and efficiency has led us to offer state-of-the-art sludge conditioning, separation, and dewatering trial work, leveraging years of experience and sophisticated in-house testing facilities.

In-House Sludge Conditioning Test Work: A Path to Optimisation

JIPL offers tailored solutions to suit the diverse challenges of different types of sludge.  Our in-house capabilities include a dedicated test press that aids in determining the most cost-effective and efficient method of dewatering for any given sludge sample. We cater to a variety of needs, from maximising liquid removal and ensuring clarity, to contaminant removal.

The process begins with essential ‘laboratory’ tests to assess the coagulation and flocculation conditioning of your sludge (including our in-house polyclay systems). This work is essential for effective separation and dewatering using a variety of technologies, including DAF, filter presses, belt presses, screw presses and centrifuges.

Our technical expert undertakes a detailed evaluation starting with the basic parameters of sludge conditioning and stability, leading to the selection of the most suitable coagulants and polymers. Whether the goal is maximum dry solids or clarity of liquids, we optimise the process tailored to your specific needs.

Advanced Test Methodology: Paving the Way for Greater Efficiency

The second phase of our testing involves dry solids measurements and flocculation tests to determine the precise dosage rates for treatment.

At JIPL, we are not just about finding a solution; we are about finding your solution.

Our filtration and cloth tests are designed to replicate real-world conditions, using our Bomb Press for single-sided filtration, ensuring the selection of the ideal cloth type for your specific dewatering technology.

From here, we meticulously calculate moisture removal, dosing rates, cake dry solids, and evaluate the performance of different cloth types. These insights allow us to provide you with accurate equipment sizing and prepare for successful on-site trials.

JIPL’s Test ‘Laboratory’: Your Assurance of Quality and Precision

Our meticulous approach extends to DAF test work, providing a comprehensive understanding of sludge conditioning requirements, blanket formation time, and expected cake dry solids. We ensure that the valuable components of your sludge, like high protein content, are preserved through gentle drying techniques.

A Call to Action: Optimise Your Sludge Management with JIPL

JIPL invites companies and councils facing the challenges of sludge management to capitalise on our expertise. With an eye on the future, we continuously refine our methodologies to align with the best environmental practices and economic benefits.

Let us demonstrate the tangible benefits of our test work and partner with you to achieve optimum and cost-effective results in sludge management.
