The Teknofangi Monobelt® Belt Filter Press with Thickener offers an advanced, efficient, and reliable solution for sludge dewatering in water and wastewater treatment plants. Its integrated design, robust construction, and high efficiency make it an ideal choice for facilities seeking to optimize their sludge management processes. The system’s ability to produce dry sludge cakes, reduce operational costs, and save space further enhances its value.
Principle of Operation
The Monobelt® system integrates both a sludge thickener and a belt filter press into a single unit, providing an efficient solution for sludge dewatering. The process involves several key stages:
Key Steps
Sludge Leaving the Pre-Thickener
The pre-thickener rotary drum with Archimedean screw inside performs the initial solid/liquid separation, with a significant reduction of the hydraulic load fed into the belt press. This allows the unit to handle sludge having very low Suspended Solids concentrations (0,5-1%)
Baffle and Breaker Combs
The thickened sludge (that generally has now a concentration of 5-15%) is then fed to the Low-Pressure Draining Zone and distributed over the whole cloth width. It’s then gently pressed by three adjustable baffles and two breaker combs.
Sludge In the High-Pressure Zone
At the end of this stage, the sludge enters into the Wedge Zone, where it receives a gradual increase of pressure. After that, the sludge reaches the Maximum Pressure Zone, where it is compressed between the main filter cloth, and the secondary filter cloth, which lines the perforated cylinder.
Dewatered Sludge
At the exit of the MONOBELT®, dependent upon the characteristics of the sludge, it is possible to reach Dry Solids concentrations between 18% to 30% or more.
Filtrate
Due to the special design of the entire system, we can guarantee a solid capture up to 98%.
Features and Benefits
Cost Efficiency
By integrating thickening and dewatering in a single unit, the Monobelt® system reduces capital and operational costs associated with separate equipment and installation.
Space Saving
The compact design minimizes the footprint, making it suitable for facilities with limited space.
High Solids Recovery
Efficient thickening and dewatering result in high solids recovery, producing a drier sludge cake that is easier and less costly to handle and dispose of.
Energy Efficiency
The system is designed to operate with low energy consumption, contributing to lower operational costs and environmental sustainability.
Flexibility
Can handle a wide range of sludge types and characteristics, making it versatile for various wastewater treatment applications.
Reduced Maintenance
Robust construction and high-quality materials ensure minimal maintenance requirements and long service life, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Improved Process Control
Automated controls and monitoring systems provide real-time data and adjust operations for optimal performance, enhancing overall process efficiency and reliability.
