Could your plant’s sludge be generating revenue—or is it costing you?

Sub-par feed sludges lead to poor gas yields and unstable process performance, which can have significant financial and other serious implications. Lack of mixing and fixed polymer dosing are major culprits in creating highly variable sludge thickness, which can range from 2.5-9% DS. If your plant experiences low solids capture rate, solids feed overload, or unstable TSS concentrations in filtrate and thickened sludge, a load-based dosing strategy may unlock the full potential of your waste disposal process.

By delivering a stable, solids-rich product to the digester you can significantly lower operating costs and increase your revenue stream. Hach’s RTC-ST Software improves and stabilizes thickened sludge concentration or filtrate quality by controlling thickening processes in real time using load-based polymer dosing. It utilizes accurate inline measurement of dry solids to calculate the precise polymer dose and feed sludge flow rate that will increase DS content of thickened sludge, improve plant efficiency and increase anaerobic gas production.

Claros Process Management solutions for sludge management like RTC-ST are designed to make the most of your plant’s real-world conditions by transforming every uncertainty into an opportunity for measurement, responsive action, and savings.
