Sludge represents
a large amount of residual material generated
by stock preparation plants and paper mills.
Sludge is often comprised of many streams,
for example DAF sludge, flotation rejects,
fine screen rejects and forward cleaners.
Employing proper sludge pre-thickening and
post thickening strategies maximizes the
dryness of the disposed material. Achieving
high dryness values while maintaining high
solids capture rates serves to minimize
the process impacts and costs associated
with handling this by-product. Conveying
systems and container / bunker loading stations
finalize the process before the sludge is
taken away from the mill.
