Metering System for Sludge Dewatering: Optimised Polymer Preparation Thanks to Innovative Design

09.04.2025
Sludge dewatering is important for sewage treatment plants to save on waste disposal costs. Every year, several thousand tons of sewage sludge are generated during the various wastewater treatment processes. Since disposal through incineration or landfilling creates costs, efforts are made to achieve the highest possible dry matter content.

The Metering System DULCODOS ULFb from ProMinent offers an ideal solution for the preparation of sophisticated polymer solutions. Developed for continuous flow systems with an extraction rate of 500 to 10,000 litres per hour, the DULCODOS ULFb is able to process both powdered and liquid polymers efficiently.

Thanks to the new round tank design, mixing efficiency is significantly increased, resulting in improved operational performance and easier maintenance. This design also enables uniform mixing of the polymers and ensures consistent quality of the solutions produced with minimal product loss. Intuitive operation and process visualisation via HMI as well as data communication facilitate handling.

The system is ideal for wastewater treatment in industry and municipal facilities. It helps to speed up the dewatering of sewage sludge and improves water quality. Precisely metered additives and improved processes also save costs.
