The Gravity Belt Thickener OMEGA MD V2 is designed for the continuous mechanical thickening of municipal or industrial sludge.
This simple and efficient technology aims at reducing the sludge volume at least 4 times!
ADVANTAGES
- A new design for an optimal sludge treatment
- Easy and low maintenance
- Permanent visual control of the process through lateral inspection hatches
- Safe and ergonomical machine
- Fully covered equipment to allow odourless operation
Gravity Belt Thickener OMEGA MD V2
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The operation of the Gravity Belt Thickener OMEGA, developed by EMO, relies on three essential steps: flocculation, filtration and pressing.
The thickening process starts with flocculation: a first liquid/solid separation which aims to give structure to the sludge. The flocculated sludge is then poured onto the filtering belt: the water flows freely through the filtering belt while the sludge is led to a final pressing stage. The thickened sludge is then scraped off and discharged.
RANGE and PERFORMANCES
The capacity of the Gravity Belt Thickener is determined by the inlet DS concentration and hydraulic flow rate parameters, together with the output DS concentration required. The figures shown below are values for inlet DS % 5 to 10 g/l and an expected output of DS % of 70 g/l. These values can be revised for other parameters – for example – if the inlet DS % is greater than 10 g/l or if the expected output DS % is less than 50 g/l.
- Type V2, 10MD to 30MD
- Flow rate capacity: 20 to 60 m³/h
- Belt width: 1 to 3 m
- Active drainage surface up to 7.60 m²
