Belt filter presses: Still a cost-effective solution

Article Abstract:

Wastewater treatment system companies did not achieve desired dewatering results with centrifugal technology. High costs, excessive power requirements and maintenance problems were created by centrifugal systems. On the other hand, belt filter presses (BFPs) exhibited power and polymer cost advantages in comparative tests againsts centrifuges. Reliable and cost-effective dewatering was achieved with BFPs.
