"Aquanza Engineering Circular thickeners are a crucial step between upstream process clarifiers/separators and downstream de-watering and sludge conditioning processes." A well designed thickener provides storage and equalization, and reduces the costs associated with de-watering.
Thickeners are similar to other circular clarifiers in appearance and operation, but typically require higher operating torque and alternate sludge collection designs for optimal performance.
Industries We Serve
-
Municipal Wastewater Treatment Thickeners are widely used in municipal sewage treatment plants to concentrate sewage sludge before further treatment, reducing the volume of waste.
-
Industrial Wastewater Treatment Many industries, including textiles, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, use thickeners to handle and treat the sludge generated by their wastewater.
-
Mining and Mineral Processing In mining, thickeners are used to concentrate tailings slurry and recover water used in ore extraction processes, enabling water recycling and reducing waste.
-
Pulp and Paper Industry The pulp and paper industry generates large volumes of sludge from wood processing and chemical treatment, which is thickened for better handling and disposal.
