LDP: An Intelligent Solution for Sludge Dewatering

In water treatment, sludge formation is inevitable. With high percentages of water, organic matter, and solid particles, sludge requires an effective dewatering process.


The LDP (Multi-Disc Screw Press) emerges as an innovative solution, capable of treating sludge with concentrations as low as 2 g/L, combining efficiency, robustness, and operational simplicity.

How does it work?

The LDP technology is based on two distinct zones:
» Thickening Zone: greater spacing between discs, facilitating the drainage of free water.
» Dewatering Zone: narrower spacing and higher pressure, promoting the extraction of interstitial water, resulting in drier and more stable sludge.

Main advantages of the LDP:

» Low energy consumption

» Reduced maintenance requirements

» Minimal wash water consumption, at low pressure

» High performance with sludge containing high levels of oils and fats

» Quiet operation with low odor emissions

» Filtrate with low foam formation

» Possibility of direct dewatering from the biological reactor, which:

» Reduces investment in thickening and storage equipment

» Lowers operational costs

» Reduces odor formation

» Increases phosphorus retention in the dewatered sludge

Efficiency with Sustainability:

The LDP is a smart choice for sludge dewatering in both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment systems.
It is a compact, reliable piece of equipment, engineered to perform under demanding conditions, with a clear focus on sustainability and technical excellence.
