SLUDGE CONDITIONING TANK TAF
Sludge conditioning is carried out in order to facilitate
water loss during mechanical drying, making it more
efficient and cost-effective. The addition of chemicals
reduces the water content of sludge.

Chemical conditioning of sludge greatly facilitates the
filtration and settling processes.

The floccules are achieved by means of the addition
of flocculent reagents such as ferric chloride, ferric salts
and maintaining the mix in a state of light agitation over a
certain period.

The addition of lime gives greater porosity, thereby
achieving an inert sludge of greater dryness.

Once pretreatment of the sludge has been completed,
dewatering by means of filter press or an alternative
system can take place.

Sludge treatment prior to dewatering takes place in a
vertical,

cylindrical

GRP

(Glass

Fibre

Reinforced

Polyester) tank.

An agitator is used for sludge agitation and mixing.
The operation of the agitator is controlled from the
general switchboard of the plant.
