Sludge Dewatering Sludge dewatering is a critical process in wastewater treatment designed to reduce the water content of sludge, transforming it into a more manageable, semi-solid state. This process minimizes sludge volume, lowering storage, transportation, and disposal costs. It employs methods such as centrifuges, belt filter presses, screw presses, or drying beds to separate water from solids. The resulting dewatered sludge can be further treated for safe disposal, composting, or energy rec
