Thickening

The economic thickener for slurries municipal and industrial slurries

Voluminous slurries with low solids content and low specific weight cannot be concentrated high enough by sedimentation or flotation. For this, the mechanical BOKELA sieve drum thickeners offer an economic alternative. By the filtration of flocculated slurries in the gravitational field of a sieve drum the free water is separated almost completely.

BOKELA supplies complete thickener units with following components:

  • flocculant preparation unit

  • flocculant dilution

  • flocculation reactor

  • sieve drum

  • pumps

  • measurement and control system

 



 

Exemplary Results:

  • overflow sludges: DS contents up to 8%

  • digested sludges: DS contents up to 12%

  • dairy waste waters: DS contents up to 6%

 

Exemplary Applications:

  • reduction of the disposal volume

  • capacity release of the sludge-digestion tank

  • thickening of sludge to improve the subsequent dewatering steps

  • etc.
