Vacuum Filters Used in Primary Sludge Dewatering
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 110, Issue 1
Abstract
The primary dewatering of digested sewage sludge by vacuum filters is one of the many mechanical processes that gained popularity in the decade 1932–1942. In the early 1930's, this service of vacuum filters was still in the experimental or pilot plant stage, whereas a very few years later saw the installation of huge filter areas. Sludge treatment literature of this period abounds with observations on vacuum filtration of digested sewage sludge and it is the purpose of this paper to indicate various experiences in the District of Columbia.
