Screw Press for US Municipal Sludge Dewatering

In recent years, the screw press machine is more and more popular in the waste water treatment process and also in municipal sewage treatment along with the grille and sedimentation tanks. Comparing with the grille, the screw press can remove solids particles much more smaller, and comparing with sedimentation, the scree press in more compact in size and need less time. Of course, the three are still working together as a primary treating solution before future treatment as chemical or bio-treatments.


A screw press is also called a screw stacking machine, and it plays an important role in sewage treatment because of the features such as high efficiency, energy saving, and small footprint make it a commonly used equipment in the field of sewage treatment. Here are some reasons why it is more popular:

1. Efficient and energy-saving: The screw press has the characteristics of high efficiency and energy-saving, and its operating cost is much lower than that of traditional equipment. This is mainly because the structure is compact, occupies a small area, and does not require specialized staff.

2. Small footprint: Compared to traditional processing equipment, the footprint of the screw stacking machine is much smaller, which gives it greater advantages in some limited venues, such as urban center areas.

3. High degree of automation: Modern screw presses are equipped with an automation control system, which can achieve functions such as automatic feeding, dehydration, and unloading, reducing manual operation requirements and improving work efficiency.

4. Easy operation and maintenance: The screw stacking machine is easy to operate and maintain, reducing operating costs.

In a recent project for municipal sewage treatment contract in USA, the end user chose GN Separation as its supplier for a screw press with model GNDL303. It will soon be sent to the client’s project jobsite.

GN Chemical Dosing Unit Used for Sludge Dewatering

In a recent project, GN Separation has provided to a client in Europe a set of dewatering screw press unit for sludge treatment system for a client in Europe. This system contains 2 sections: a chemical dosing unit and a screw press machine. And the client ordered a comparably large model of both the chemical dosing and the screw press.


1.Chemical dosing unit. The chemical dosing unit is used for adding chemicals into the material to be treated, normally the material is in liquid form containing some extra fine particles to be removed. The smaller the particles are, the more difficult to separate them out. That’s why the chemical dosing unit is involved into the system. GN chemical dosing unit can be used to add both liquid chemicals and chemical in powder into the material based on the material’s characters and requested result after interaction. The dosing pumps can be controlled manually and automatically by choosing the modes on the control panel. There are several mixers used in the chemical dosing unit for prepare the liquid.

Based on jobsite request, GN can make chemical dosing unit of different capacities, which means, the model of chemical dosing unit is designed based on the volume of solutions, and the density of chemical is determined by the dosing pump, by inputting some data into the control system.

2.Screw press machine. The screw press is used to remove the particles from the liquid. After chemical dosing, the extra fine particles become large enough for the screw press to remove them. The working principle of the screw press is like to squeeze water from a towel. It is driven by a motor and inside there is a screw for squeezing. GN also has several models for option for matching different treating capacities.
