Dry Solids (%DS) in sludge cake
Dry Solids measurement for Dry Cake, measuring sludge cake density in concentrations from 10 - 40 %DS. There are inline sensors available, and sensors with a sample-grabbing device.
Get in touch if you want to partner with us on measuring your dry cake using the OLPAS ultrasound measurement technology.
Measuring sludge cake moisture content in wastewater treatment plants is a challenging task.
This is due to the fact that sludge cake is often not compacted and is discharged from the dewatering installation with sludge conveyors and screws. Existing inline measurements, such as microwave-based density measurements, often fail to accurately determine sludge density due to the granular nature of sludge cake and the presence of large air pockets.
The Olpas ultrasound technology provides a fouling-resistant measurement of the sludge dry solids content, independent of sludge type or morphology.
