Acorn Recycling has three types of dewatering equipment which can carry
our in situ dewatering on urban waste water treatment plants, industrial
plants, septic tanks, aeration basins, lagoons and specialised works.
Acorn provides a complete service with all its equipment including;
set-up, operation, and sludge disposal.
A static containerised MASKOZOLL unit can be used in a wide range of
industrial applications.
MASKOFLEX Mobile Dewatering Unit
The Maskoflex Mobile dewatering unit is ideal for dewatering wet sludges
(1-5%) within small to large sized treatment plants and septic tanks.
With the sludge automatically loaded on board, the Maskoflex can then
easily transport the dewatered sludge (12-18% dry solids) to the
disposal destination. Because of the reduction in volume and efficiency
of dewatering, the Maskoflex mobile dewatering unit can dramatically
reduce the costs of sludge disposal. Because the micro-organisms within
the desludged water are returned to the treatment plant, this process
causes less upset to biological treatment systems than the wholesale
removal of sludge.
MASKOZOLL Containerised Dewatering Unit
For larger municipal and industrial treatments it might be necessary for
an on-going sludge dewatering system to work continually to dewater the
sludges produced. A static containerised MASKOZOLL unit can be used in a
wide range of industrial applications. This patented system, exclusive
to Acorn Recycling in Ireland, works in the same way as the mobile
dewatering unit above but is available in a variety of sizes to meet any
requirement. This system was been used in the food and drink industry
and paper pulp industry, as well as for wastewater treatment sludges.
Acorn recently installed a large unit in a meat processing
plant that treats 75 cubic meters per hour.
CENTRIFUGES
Centrifuges are one of the most efficient dewatering technologies
available. Acorn Recycling provide turnkey rental of these systems. A
number of sized centrifuges are available with dewatering capacities
ranging from 12 to 40 cubic metres per hour. The sludge produced with
have a dry solids content ranging from 18-25 percent, depending on the
input sludge.
