What it is
Sludge dewatering screw press
FlotLife Dewatering System (FDS) is an innovative multi-disc screw press for wastewater sludge dewatering. FDS reduces sludge in weight and volume by separating it into liquid and solid components.

FDS is structured with a filter element that consists of two types of rings: fixed ring and moving ring, and a screw that thrusts the filter element and transfers and pressurizes the sludge.

The gaps between the rings and the screw pitch are designed to gradually get narrower towards the direction of the sludge cake oulet and the inner pressure of the filter element increases due to the volume compression effect, which thickens and dewaters the sludge.

How it works
Process flow

System components and process stages

Sludge conditioning tank

Before dewatering, the sludge is temporarily stored in a conditioning tank.

Flow control tank

Overflow pipe regulates sludge feed to the device. Excess sludge is returned to the conditioning tank.

Flocculation tank

In the flocculation tank sludge is mixed with flocculant which enables dissolved particles to aggregate in large flocs.

Thickening and dewatering cylinder

A screw mechanism pushes sludge through moving rings of the thickening zone (where sludge is thickened) and the dewatering zone (where thickened sludge is dewatered).

Discharge outlet

The end plate applies the final pressure to the sludge, and the dewatered cake is discharged.

Why FDS?
Advantages

Variety of sizes
Dewatering screw presses of FDS series come in a variety of sizes suitable for small as well as large-scale wastewater treatment plants.
icon
Unique thickening ring technology
Thickening rings made of advanced composite materials exhibit light weight coupled with high strength along the direction of the reinforcing fibre, dimensional stability, temperature and chemical resistance.
icon
Simple operation and maintenance
Thanks to its simple design, operation and monitoring of the screw presses of FDS series is intuitive, easy and does not require daily maintenance. It can operate fully automatic 24/7.
icon
Clog-resistant design
The in-built self-cleaning mechanism enables dewatering of oily sludge, which can cause clogging and is therefore difficult to treat with other types of dewatering.
icon
Easy integration into existing infrastructure
Thanks to its small footprint, the dewatering units of FDS series can be installed in sites with restricted space. Simple interface allows effortless connection to existing wastewater treatment system.
icon
Two year warranty + after-sales service
All products of FDS series are accompanied with a two-year warranty. After-sales service is one of our focus areas.
