Industrial Sludge Dewatering & Process Water Treatment

In the modern raw materials and recycling industry, efficient sludge dewatering and process water treatment offer both ecological and economic benefits. Binder+Co offers you comprehensive systems that close the water cycle, recover resources, and reduce your disposal costs:

Our solutions ensure highly efficient and future-proof process water treatment :

  • Closed water cycles: Using state-of-the-art technologies, we recover up to 90% of your process water.
  • Maximum volume reduction: Our sludge dewatering systems produce solid filter cakes with minimal residual moisture. This reduces volume and thereby lowers disposal costs.
  • Customized plant technology: Every project begins with a thorough sludge analysis—we configure the plant to match your material properties and throughput rates.
  • Process reliability: Our plants are designed for continuous operation. Thanks to automation and robust construction, we guarantee minimal downtime and maximum operational reliability.

Benefits of Process Water Recovery and Sludge Treatment

Modern process water treatment is a fundamental requirement for future-proof operations.
Our systems provide you with decisive competitive advantages:

By recovering up to 90% of the water used, you reduce resource consumption to a minimum.

A closed-loop water system makes you independent of resource shortages and regulatory discharge restrictions.

Process water treatment, including sludge dewatering, is the solution of the future for an improved ecological footprint

Our solutions for industrial process water treatment

Every sludge is different. That is why at Binder+Co we rely on specialized technology that is precisely tailored to your throughput rates and sludge properties.

Siebbandpresse

Belt filter presses for sludge dewatering

For mineral sludges with high clay content, the belt filter press is the first choice. It features a compact design and can be deployed in a semi-mobile configuration.

Kammerfilterpresse

Chamber filter presses for sludge dewatering

When the lowest possible residual moisture in the filter cake is required, the chamber filter press is the machine of choice. It produces a solid filter cake that is easy to handle.

Process water treatment flowchart

1. Process water feed

First, the process water containing fine particles is fed into the clarifier. Depending on the system layout, the turbid water is fed either energy-efficiently by gravity or via a pump.

2. Sedimentation in the clarifier

Solid-liquid separation takes place in the clarifier. The flocculated sludge settles to the bottom and is discharged, while the clarified water is drawn off at the highest point of the clarifier.

3. Homogenization tank

The thick sludge from the clarifier is homogenized in a holding tank using an agitator. This uniform consistency ensures efficient dewatering in the final step.

4. Sludge Dewatering

The sludge is dewatered using a belt filter press or chamber filter press. The result is filter cake and clean water, which flows directly back into the production cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Process Water and Sludge Treatment

Yes, we offer material analyses and filter press tests at our pilot plant to determine the optimal system configuration:
You can either send us your slurry from sand processing, or we can produce a suitable slurry from your raw material (e.g., pre-screening material).

We produce filter cakes on our laboratory press and determine the cake consistency and the minimum achievable residual moisture.
