🚰 Sludge Thickening (Gravity Drainage Zone, Thickening Feed Sludge from 0.8% to 6%-8% TSS)

Gravity Belt Thickener (GBT) Calculator

Size Gravity Belt Thickeners (GBT / BDP Industries / Charter Machine) thickening dilute secondary waste activated sludge (WAS) prior to anaerobic digesters: thicken thin 0.8% solids slurry up to 6% to 8% concentrated feed, slash required anaerobic digester tank volume by 75%, capture clear filtrate, and wastewater plant yields.
