It is for this purpose that, leveraging its historical experience in the valorizing of technical clay material, @AKW worked on the design of unique thickening solutions, that integrate clear differentiation edges compared to the solutions commonly made available in the market:
- Specially designed sludge deaeration tank upfront the feeding into the thickener: for better sludge sedimentation results
- Higher tank walls, to generate higher hydraulic pressure on the sludge layer: for better sludge storage capacity handling
- Up to 4 arms equipped with systems of multiple racks/shovels and vertical tubes to de-aerate the sludge bed: for maximum thickening of the sludge bed
- Central feeding by the means of a proprietary bell design positioned below the water level: for a homogenous suspension distribution, and an efficient post-mixing of flocculant
- Smart positioning of the sludge discharge pump, allowing the use of a short sludge discharge pipe: to prevent blocking / clogging
- Thickener bridge mounted over the whole tank diameter: for better access during maintenance operations
- Several additional options available: because the customizing of our solutions is what prevails!
