Mechanical compression is a traditional process for the dewatering of sewage sludge. However, the moisture content of the cake is still high, unfavorable for the sludge management. In this paper, the use of thermal compression to improve the sludge dewatering is investigated. The dewatering efficiency is affected by the applied temperature, pressure and the sludge mass. The bound water of the sludge is further reduced by thermal compression, improving the dewatering performance. The solid content of the cake obtained after 10 min mechanical compression and 60 min thermal compression at 120 oC and 4 MPa is 85.2%.

A comparative study of 4 different types of full-scale sludge dewatering units was performed in 1990 by I. Krüger AS in co-operation with the equipment suppliers. The purpose of the study was to examine the capability of the dewatering equipment on the “new” sludge types from wastewater treatment plants with N and P removal. The achieved results have formed the basis of a financial evaluation comprising construction and operating costs. The objective of the evaluation is to compare the total costs involved in sludge dewatering and disposal. The relatively cheap types of dewatering units (belt filter press, solid bowl centrifuge) produce dewatered sludge with a lower dry solids content than the more expensive equipment (press centrifuge, membrane filter press). The latter types should consequently primarily be applied where the dewatered sludge has to meet special requirements and in situations in which disposal costs are very high.
