VOLUTE™ treats fatty and greasy sludge from pork production in Germany
Background
A pig slaughterhouse/ pork processing plant was looking for a sludge dewatering solution for a more convenient sludge management. The sludge produced by this plant is very fatty, oily, and greasy and there was a risk of inefficient sludge handling by conventional dewatering technologies. AMCON was asked to conduct a pilot test, therefore, we have brought the VOLUTE™ pilot unit and realized a full-scale pilot testing on-site.
Installation details
Thanks to VOLUTE™ clog-free mechanism and high resistance against FOG sludge, we achieved magnificent results. After the pilot test, the customer had installed an ES-351 model at their site. The unit is running fine, and customer is very happy with the installation and the benefits it brought to the overall wastewater treatment plant operation. Currently, we have VOLUTE™ FS & GS pilot units available to on-site pilot testing. Please feel free to contact AMCON in case you are interested to test VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press at your site.
