Sludge Storage Tanks

Enduramaxx manufacture Sludge Storage Tanks from Polypropylene & High-Density Polyethylene to suit your specific application. Sludge is a thick, soft mud and typically the by-product of wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater solids and settled suspension from potable water treatment. Often it contains various types of pathogens as well as heavy contaminants, in the case of industrial waste, this can include chemical pollutants.

Sludge contaminated by chemical pollutants or heavy metals and demands complex treatment. Other applications are sludge settlement tanks on small sewage treatment plants, the concentration of food and agricultural waste for anaerobic digestion, removal of grit for water reuse on effluent treatment plants and concentration of apple mulch after cider fermentation.

What is Sludge Thickening?

Sludge thickening is the reduction of volume by up to 80 %, which can be reached with sludge thickening before further treatment is required. This is where wastewater treatment plants drive the sludge off regularly and usually takes place directly in the sludge storage tank.

What is Dewatering?

Dewatering is the further reduction of the sludge amount after the thickening as the liquid still must be dewatered to a dry and porous form. Dewatering is generally by machine processes using a filter press and centrifuge. Enduramaxx works with several industrial wastewater treatment companies who offer advice on wastewater and sludge treatment covering coagulation, chemical treatment flocculation, biological treatment, pH control and dewatering. Enduramaxx can provide a range of bulk chemical tanks, dosing tanks, polymer mixers, coagulation and flocculation equipment.

Enduramaxx Sludge Tanks

Enduramaxx manufacture tanks for effluent & sludge storage from either Polypropylene or High-Density Polyethylene which is selected to suit your specific application.  Sludge is a thick, soft mud or other viscous liquids that are typically the by-product of wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater solids and settled suspension from potable water treatment. It often contains various types of pathogens as well as heavy contaminants, in the case of industrial waste, chemical pollutants.

Sludge Tank Features and Customisation

Our sludge tanks can be customised to project requirements with fittings, flanges, sludge decanting valves and pipework. Side access to the tank for maintenance of the tank is an option available to save the tank having to be accessed from the top hatch of the tank.

Dished Base Conical Sludge Tanks

Conical Sludge Tanks are a vital part of operations in a wastewater treatment plant used for storage of raw effluent, treated effluent, final effluent, raw sewage and sewage sludge and can an upright tank or conical tank to aid decanting/cleaning to a system of multiple tanks. Sludge tank holds sludge after it has been removed from the wastewater treatment system, settle out sludge further so more water can be recovered and further digest the sludge before disposing of it. Conical tanks have one main advantage over standard flat base sludge tanks which is that that the sludge can be drained through the centre. Some have aeration and mixing that is delivered by mechanical and electrical means which aids digestion of the sludge that has accumulated.
