Abstract: Conditioning of either wastewater biosolids or water treatment residuals conventionally utilizes a single polymer to improve subsequent dewatering. The sequential addition of two polymers has been reported to enhance ...

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 ...

Abstract: An immobilization cell was successfully coupled to a controlled stress rheometer to quantify rheological properties of a sludge during its dewatering. An anaerobically digested sludge and a synthetic sludge were analyzed ...
