Sludge removal in wastewater treatment plants – when quick action is required
When biological sludge is discharged via the outlet in secondary clarification, this is referred to as sludge discharge. The cause is usually always the same: the sludge does not settle quickly enough – whether due to bulking sludge, poor floc structure or too high a hydraulic load. In such cases, the settling section in the secondary clarifier is not sufficient. The sludge is carried away and leaves the plant via the outlet.
The result: an acute problem – with an immediate need for action
Sludge discharge not only jeopardises the cleaning performance of the system, but also compliance with legal limits. This means that immediate measures are required – uncomplicated, efficient and without disrupting ongoing operations.
