Industry solution
Sludge dewatering for dyeing and finishing wastewater
Coloured biological and chemical sludge dewatered to a handleable cake, with wash water returned to the plant.
What makes this duty different
Three constraints that shape the specification
- 01
Large sludge volume with low solids content slows every cycle.
- 02
Fine fibres and colour block cloth and reduce drainage.
- 03
Cake haulage cost rises quickly with moisture.
Dyeing wastewater treatment produces large volumes of low-solids sludge. The press needs steady throughput and easy cloth cleaning, because colour and fine fibres cling to the weave. Membrane plates are often used where cake transport cost matters; chamber presses remain a practical choice for smaller plants.
