Metso has developed a new technology with which municipal and industrial waste water plants are able to improve their performance and reduce the amount of chemicals used in sludge processing by even up to one third. The new technology features advanced in/on-line measurement systems, Metso TS (Total Solids) and Metso LS (Low Solids), for processing sludge.

Thanks to the measurement systems, based on Microwave and LED/Laser technologies, it is now possible to separate dry solids and water from each other more accurately and efficiently than before. In this way, the amount of water treated at a plant can be significantly increased and the amount of chemicals used in the sludge drying process can be decreased remarkably.

The new technology offers the world’s water treatment plants an opportunity to improve their performance. A large North American wastewater treatment plant has calculated that it saves even up to 30% in its annual USD 2.5 million chemical costs. In addition to that, savings are gained as the sludge handling and dry solids transportation costs decrease. The further use of the dewatered sludge in energy production is also significantly more efficient, as dewatered sludge contains less water than before.
