- Slaughterhouse, Norway
This pig and cow slaughterhouse wanted to treat their own effluent in-house. After installing a new wastewater treatment line, they chose VOLUTE DUO™ as their dewatering solution due to the fibrous nature of their sludge. The site’s manure separator delivers filtrate of poor quality that needs to be retreated. The customer decided to mix it with their DAF sludge and to send this mixture to the VOLUTE DUO™.
Installation details
The installed VOLUTE DUO™ RVP-501 reliably dewaters the fibrous mixed sludge on site with an average cake dryness of 20.5% and a filtrate capture rate higher than 99%. The continuous and low-maintenance operation of VOLUTE DUO™ enables the client to significantly reduce their waste with minimal associated operational and labour costs.
