PURCHASER Nijhuis Industries Central Europe Sp. z o.o.
OBJECT Meat factory, poultry slaughterhouse
SEDIMENT TYPE Excessive activated sludge, initial flotation sludge
DESIGNED CAPACITY 5000 m3/day

Objective

Sludges coming from the treatment of wastewater from meat processing services show specific parameters for this type of industry. They contain increased fat amounts and generally understood animal protein, which in turn requires use of dedicated technology for dewatering of this type of industrial sludge.

The sewage treatment plant is located around 20 km from Kutno, in the Łódź province. The initial entering sewage is a mixture of industrial wastewater from the production lines and biological wastewater which is formed as a result of the daily work of the plant.

The main goal of the investment was the construction of the wastewater treatment plant at the newly built production factory and as part of that the supply and commissioning of two independent and fully automated sludge dewatering complexes.

Work Progress

To determine the efficiency of sludge dewatering, first laboratory tests were performed. Because the plant in which this technology meant to be implemented was still under construction, the tests were carried out in another plant, which had an identical production line and purification technology to the built one. When selecting the device, the experience of Esmil Prodeko-Ełk was used as a supplier of comprehensive solutions based on modern technologies.

The analysis of advantages and disadvantages of the use of various sludge dewatering devices at a given facility has led to the selection of the multidisc screw dehydrators (MDQs), whose main advantages are:

  • simple operation,
  • low energy, flocculant, water consumption,
  • very low noise,
  • the ability to work in automatic mode

The scope of delivery included two independent drainage lines. Each of them consisted of a multidisc screw press, an automatic polymer preparation station, a sludge feed pump and a polymer dosing pump.

Multidisc screw dewatering units and the other supplied devices work efficiently and reliably. The
operating parameters of the sludge treatment units in both lines enable them to obtain sludges with the
level of DS up to 34%. Equipped with full automation, it allows the user to optimalise the dewatering process and meakes the sludge management much easier.
