HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS®

The new generation of our well-proven sludge dewatering press

A major pre-treatment step is to reduce the water content of the sludge. Sewage sludge generated on wastewater treatment plants typically shows a DS between 1 and 5% depending on where exactly it is generated. The average DS content of digested sludge is 4 %. This means that one cubic metre of digested sewage sludge contains 960 l, which would permanently have to be transported without
prior dewatering. The major benefits of dewatering and drying are weight and volume reduction and the
increased thermal value.
