Title: Centrifuges, belt filters and drum filters used for thickening municipal wastewater sludge

Thickening is a procedure used to increase the solids content of sludge by removing a portion of the liquid fraction. To illustrate, if waste activated sludge, which is typically pumped from secondary tanks with a content of 0.8% solids, can be thickened to a content of 4% solids, then a fivefold decrease in sludge volume is achieved. Thickening is generally accomplished by physical means including co-settling, gravity settling, flotation, centrifugation, gravity belt, and rotary drum.
