Sludge Treatment Solutions
Outline
- Sludge treatment can be categorized into two steps.
Wastes
Removal of water Disposal
(dehydration & drying)
Renewed resources
wastes
regulations on the lower limit of DS content to prevent the
burial leakage of the water content from contaminating underground
water (Korea 25% , China 40%)

4) Environment-friendly system
- minimizes the use of chemicals.
(Belt-presses use organic flocculants weighing the same as 1% of DS, but other
mechanical dehydrators have to use inorganic flocculants weighing the same
as 10-40% of DS if they are to attain DS 30% dehydrating sewage sludge rich
in organic matter.)

IV. Core of the Technology
Technology
The Electro-Osmosis Dehydrator can raise the percentage of dry solids generally to about 40% and
reduce the weight of sludge to 50%. So if we install this 2nd dehydrator before a dryer we can save
energy and even get the sludge used as fuel. Or if we commission a contractor to treat the rest of
sludge we can lower the cost accordingly.

IV. Core of the Technology
KWT system employs one of the two different types of dryers according to their respective features.
1. Microwave Dryer
• uses electricity
• simple structure / compact size – main body only without any devices attached
• Preheating is not necessary, which is an advantage for frequent turn-on’s and off’s of the machine.
• suitable for small WWTP’s treating less than 50 tons a day
It is a paddle type dryer which vaporizes the water in sludge indirectly through hot steam
transmitting energy.
