Fundamentals of Dewatering and Implications for Full-Scale Dewatering

This live webcast will take place on Thursday, September 15, 2022, from 1:00 - 2:30 PM Eastern. The webcast recording will be available within 24 hours after the webcast ends.

The webcast will review some of the fundamentals of the conditioning and dewatering process and their implications for full-scale dewatering practice, the discussion will include: 

  1. Factors affecting polymer conditioning – role of shear and mixing 

  1. Water fractions and their relationship to dewatering and mechanical dewatering (what is removed in dewatering) 

  1. Floc characteristics and their impacts on dewatering (role of protein and cations) 

  2. Impact of processes on dewatering (THP, bioP, aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion) 
Presenters:

  • Matt Higgins, Bucknell University
  • John Novak, Virginia Tech
  • Stephanie Spalding, P.E., HDR (moderator)

PDH Credits will be available for attendees following this event on this platform. Please look for further information to come.
