More HUBER Sludge Treatment Equipment for Ti Tree Bend STP
The Ti Tree Bend STP located in Launceston is owned and operated by TasWater.
Project Overview
As part of a recent upgrade to the solids handling process, Hydroflux were awarded to supply of two (2) HUBER Q-PRESS® Rotary Screw Presses. HUBER Screw Press technology was selected over high speed centrifuges due to their outstanding performance, low maintenance and low energy demand.
Furthermore, the site already has three (3) HUBER S-DRUM Thickeners, which have been operating successfully since 2004.
The S-DRUM s thicken waste activated sludge from 0.5% to 5%DS and have a similar operating principle to the Q-PRESS®.
Key Benefits
- High cake solids, less off site disposal costs
- Lowest energy demand (10% of a centrifuge)
- Automatic Unattended Operation
- Max internal speed of 1RPM
- Lowest maintenance demand
- Full stainless steel construction
- Fully enclosed system
