Polymer Preparation
Most suppliers focus on a single piece of sludge handling equipment.
FILTEC supports the complete sludge handling process - from sludge conditioning and thickening through to dewatering and effluent polishing - with one integrated technology portfolio.
Whether your goal is reducing sludge volumes, improving downstream performance or achieving higher quality treated water, selecting the right technology at each stage of the process can significantly impact operational outcomes.


The Right Technology Starts with the Application
Not all sludge behaves the same. Every technology has a place, but selecting the right solution depends on sludge characteristics, operational requirements and treatment objectives.
FILTEC works with customers to identify the most appropriate technology for long-term performance and operational outcomes.
Sludge Handling Technologies
Improve Sludge Conditioning Performance
Teknomix & Polymer Preparation Systems
Teknomix and polymer preparation systems improve sludge conditioning and flocculation prior to thickening or dewatering, helping reduce polymer consumption and support more consistent dewatering performance.
Typical applications:
Polymer activation
Sludge conditioning
Flocculation systems
Chemical dosing applications




Increase Solids Before Dewatering
Scrudrain Dynamic Thickener
Scrudrain increases sludge solids concentration prior to digestion or dewatering, reducing hydraulic load and improving downstream digestion and treatment performance.
Typical applications:
Anaerobic digestion
Pre-dewatering thickening
Sludge storage systems
Centrifuge feed thickening
Low-Maintenance Sludge Dewatering
Teknobag-Draimad
Teknobag provides a straightforward batch dewatering solution for smaller wastewater treatment facilities, industrial plants and remote sites where simplicity, low maintenance and reduced operator involvement are priorities.
Typical applications:
Council wastewater treatment plants
Industrial wastewater treatment
Remote sites
Clarifier sludge






Continuous High-Throughput Dewatering
Monobelt

FAQs
Which sludge dewatering technology is right for my application?
The most suitable technology depends on sludge concentration, organic and inorganic content, site capacity, operator involvement and treatment objectives. FILTEC helps customers assess their process requirements and identify the most appropriate thickening, dewatering or filtration solution.
What is the difference between a belt press and a screw press?
Belt presses are typically suited to higher throughput applications and can combine thickening and dewatering in a single process. Screw presses offer compact footprints, automated operation and lower operator involvement. The best choice depends on sludge characteristics and operational requirements.
When should sludge be thickened before dewatering?
Thickening is often used to increase solids concentration before digestion, centrifuges, screw presses or belt presses. This can reduce hydraulic loading, improve downstream performance and reduce equipment sizing requirements.
Can tertiary filtration support water reuse projects?
Yes. Tertiary filtration technologies such as disc filters and microfiltration systems can reduce suspended solids and improve effluent quality for reuse applications, UV treatment and discharge compliance requirements.
What information is required to select sludge handling equipment?
Technology selection typically considers sludge concentration, sludge type, organic and inorganic content, flow rates, operating hours, treatment objectives and available plant footprint.
Can FILTEC provide equipment sizing and commissioning support?
Yes. FILTEC can assist with technology selection, process review, equipment sizing, commissioning support, operator training and ongoing service requirements.
Not Sure Which Technology Fits Your Process?
Every sludge stream has different treatment requirements.
