Process Assessment to Performance Testing: Transitioning from Plate and Frame to High Solids Centrifuge Dewatering

Biosolids and Sludge Management

“…presented byCubbage et al (2012), a high solids centrifuge delivered approximately 1,200 wet pounds less cake per dry ton processed than the existing plate and frame filter press due to the avoidance of ferric and lime additions to condition solids.Digestion. The co-digestion of food waste (FW)with wastewater biosolids (waste activated sludge WAS and primary sludge PS) was shown byZhou et al (2012) to have a synergistic effect on biological hydrogen production with the highest production of hydrogen with a mixture of FW, PS and WAS at a ratio of 80:15:5.…”
