COMPACT APPARATUS FOR TREATING SLUDGE BY DRAINING AND PRESSING

摘要

Apparatus for dehydrating sludge originating from water purification stations, comprising a draining grid part positioned above a pressing-belt filter part, and a device for washing the grid wherein the device is positioned above the grid, so as to limit the drop height of the flocculated sludge between the grid and the belt, thus avoiding deflocculation of the sludge between the thickening stage and the dehydration stage, the washing of the grid being performed concurrently with the movement of the sludge on the grid.
