Filter Presses for wastewater treatment

Industrial wastewater is generated in almost every manufacturing process and must be treated before it can be discharged or reused. This produces a wide variety of sludges, ranging from metal-bearing residues and chemical precipitation sludge to organic solids. Without reliable sludge dewatering, disposal costs, transportation requirements and freshwater consumption increase significantly.

 

Efficient sludge dewatering with filter presses

 

A filter press provides reliable solid-liquid separation, reducing sludge volume while producing a dry filter cake that is easier to transport, dispose of or, depending on its composition, recycle. At the same time, a clear filtrate is generated that can often be reused as process water or directed to further treatment stages.

 

Filter presses for industrial wastewater treatment

 

AQUACHEM designs and manufactures filter presses for a wide range of industrial wastewater treatment applications. Our systems are used across industries including chemicals, metal processing, food production, surface treatment and recycling. Every filter press is engineered to match the characteristics of the sludge, the required throughput and the desired level of automation.

 

Membrane or chamber filter press – Which solution is right for your process?

 

Depending on the application, either membrane or chamber filter presses are used to achieve high dry solids content and short filtration cycles. This not only reduces disposal and transportation costs but also improves the overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the wastewater treatment process.

 

Why choose AQUACHEM filter presses for the wastewater treatment?

 

Thanks to their robust construction and application-specific design, AQUACHEM filter presses deliver reliable performance even under demanding operating conditions. They can be integrated seamlessly into existing water treatment systems, helping companies optimise resource efficiency while ensuring compliance with environmental and wastewater treatment regulations.
