The technique is used in the same way in both industrial and municipal settings. A gravity belt thickener employs 'gravity drainage', i.e. dilute sludge (typically 0.5% to 1.0%), which is introduced at the feed-end of a horizontal filter belt. As the slurry makes its way down the moving belt, any free water drains through the porous belt.

7.0 Process Principles and Objectives The gravity thickener is used to thicken a mixture of primary and waste secondary sludge. The thickener provides time for settling the solids contained in the sludge mixture; the thickened sludge and scum are pumped to the digesters while the supernatant flows to the headworks. Concentration of the sludge

Two basic types of thickeners work by gravity or flotation and use either continuous or batch processes. Gravity thickeners are essentially settling tanks with or without mechanical thickening devices (picket fence type). Plain settling tanks can produce solids contents in sludges of up to 8.0 percent for primary sludges and up to 2.2 percent

Details
Similar to the sedimentation process gravity thickeners rely on the heavy solids in the sludge to settle by gravity to the bottom of the thickener. As the solids settle the water will be separated out. The tank will become stratified with larger amounts of solids on the bottom of the tank and layer of water with less solids on top.

A gravity thickener has a similar process to the tanks, but it has a sloped design so that solids collect at the base. Dissolved-air flotation is another type of sludge-thickening process. Small air particles attach to the suspended solid material. They enable the solids to break up and float to the surface.

In the recycle pressurisation process, the water is pressurized (usually the subnatant from the flotation unit) and then depressurised and mixed with the particles at the flotation unit inlet. The pressurised water flow frequently represents more than 80 % of that of the sludge to be floated. ... gravity belt thickener (GBT) (figure 12 ...
