HYDROSTOP’s filter press dewatering of water from agitated tanks is a key step in the process of treating wastewater from concrete production. This phase aims to effectively remove excess water from the sludge and solid residues resulting from wastewater treatment.
The process begins by transferring the water from the agitated tanks to a piece of equipment known as a filter press. This filter press is designed to mechanically press sludge and solid residues between a series of plates and filter cloths.
Once inside the filter press, sludge and solid residues are compressed under high pressure, allowing excess water to flow through the filter cloths. This water is collected and can be reused in the concrete production process or further treated to meet environmental standards before being discharged into the environment.
At the same time, the compression of sludge and solid residues in the filter press considerably reduces their volume, facilitating their disposal and subsequent management. The dewatered residues can then be disposed of appropriately, in compliance with current environmental regulations.
To sum up, HYDROSTOP’s filter press dewatering of water from agitated tanks enables efficient treatment of wastewater from concrete production by removing excess water from sludge and solid residues, while recovering and reusing water to minimize waste and conserve water resources.
