Microwedge® Sludge Drying System
The Microwedge® is a passive, modular system that simplifies sludge dewatering and drying. Built from durable interlocking blocks with no moving parts, it provides a low-maintenance way to handle sedimentation sludge withdrawal flows. Its modular design allows plants to expand capacity as needed, while offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for reducing sludge volume without the complexity of mechanical equipment.
Easy Installation
The interlocking design simplifies installation and individual unit replacement. The system is capable of continuous operation since there is no possibility of mechanical failure. It requires no energy and is nearly maintenance free.
Ease of Operation
Operation of the Microwedge Dewatering System is simple. Flood the bed with thickened sludge, wait for the sludge to dry, and remove the dry sludge cake with a front end loader. Following sludge removal, wash down the bed and repeat the cycle. The system can dewater anything from 1% aerobically digested sludge to 5% primary sludge to filter backwash waste, and it can achieve as high as 99% solids recovery.
Complete System Design
Complete system design is offered by Roberts Filter Group. Our skilled professionals will customize a system to meet your needs or our staff can recommend and provide all of the necessary components to meet your specified design criteria.
A minimum of two beds is typical for most installations. Each bed consists of a concrete basin with an inlaid collection system. The dewatering blocks are placed in the basin and the perimeter is sealed with wood or stainless steel.
