Provided is an apparatus adapted for processing sewage sludge comprising: (a) a dewatering unit (100) for producing a sludge cake from a sludge, the dewatering unit (100) comprising a housing (110) and at least one screen (104) for filtering a sludge to collect a solids-enriched fraction on the screen; and (b) a vibrator for vibrating one or more screens, wherein the vibrator vibrates one or more screens with a vibratory frequency and amplitude effective, without any assist from gas flow through the screen, to maintain substantially all screen-applied sludge in constant motion. Sludge enters through an inlet (101) with sludge cake removed through one outlet (107) with filtrate removed from another outlet (108). |
