Sludge Thickening - How Our Industry Has Been Calculating Polymer Usage Wrong
Published by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Technology
Parkson Corporation released a new video titled "Sludge Thickening – How Our Industry Has Been Calculating Polymer Usage Wrong."
In this video, they discuss how to correctly calculate polymer use during the sludge thickening process in wastewater treatment.
Polymer use is the industry "go to" for measuring performance, efficiency and cost of ownership of sludge thickeners; however, as an industry we've been calculating it incorrectly. The problem begins with calculations that are based on what goes in the thickener instead of what comes out. Because of solids loss, which differs depending on design of the thickener utilized (less than 1% to 10% loss), the amount of sludge going in isn't the same as the amount coming out.
