Saving energy in sludge handling

Progressive cavity pump specialist SEEPEX has developed a new system that it says will improve dewatered sludge handling, enabling long distance transfer with reduced operational costs by using a combination of PC pump technology and dense-phase conveying. The technology has already been trialled by Thames Water at its Reading Sewage Treatment Works (STW) and is now being installed as part of the new Thames Water Riverside project, providing what the firm describes as an energy-efficient, high-performance alternative to conventional sludge handling systems .
