Abstract: The ability to measure network strength is important in sludge conditioning and dewatering applications. Previous research has mostly focused on determining sludge floc strength indirectly through measuring other parameters ...

Abstract: Researchers Örmeci and Abu-Orf used rheology; a fundamental character of sludge, to arrive at a standard protocol for measuring network strength in terms of energy required to break up the structure of a certain volume of ...

Abstract: Rheological characteristics of sludge represent one of the few examples of fundamentally derivable properties that have also been successfully used for the improvement of actual sludge treatment processes. Previous research ...
