Sludge conditioning is a crucial step in sludge dewatering aimed at minimizing excessive sludge production. The Fenton process, which harnesses oxidative radicals to dismantle extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and microorganisms, has been unequivocally proven to enhance sludge dewaterability. However, the widespread …
Process optimization deals with the data-driven technology (fuzzy logic, neural network, clustering, support vector machine) of WWTP variable frequency pumps [67]. To adjust the pump operating point, a variable-frequency pump is proposed by some researchers where the start and stop of the pumps depend on the level of water [ 12 ].
The existing dewatering design methods are mostly based on the optimization of pumping rate needed to maintain a stable water level, while the drop …

Mechanical dewatering (MDW) has been widely used for the dewatering process in wastewater treatment plants. However, M c of sludge mechanical dewatering with conventional MDW methods such as belt filter press, centrifuge, diaphragm plate and frame filter press still remain a high level of 60%–80% ( Li et al., 2018 ; Rao et al., 2017 ).
This can be considered a design problem. The dewatering system configuration and stream flow rates are calculated for both problems (i.e., for P1 and P2). For P2, the equipment design is also determined. These models/problems are independent of one another and can be used as per the objectives of the designer.
