SubsidieMeestersA smart centrifuge camera for testing dewatering ability of waste-water sludges in hyper-gravity
The SludgeCam project aims to enhance wastewater sludge treatment by developing a smart camera centrifuge to optimize processes, reduce energy consumption, and minimize environmental impact.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The EU produces more than 45,000 tons of waste-water sludge per day as a byproduct of municipal and industrial water purification activities. This enormous amount can become a gold mine for materials recovery or an environmental burden, depending on how well waste-treatment plants can remove water from these sludges.
Current Challenges
Today, sludge treatment processes are based on unoptimized methods, which rely on operator experience and low-tech equipment. These methods are not able to deal with the fast-changing sludge type evolution, resulting in:
- Loss of time
- Loss of energy
- Loss of money
- Negative environmental impact
Project Overview
The SludgeCam project will deliver an innovative smart camera centrifuge, featuring advanced software, hardware, and sensing capabilities. This technology will enable plant operators to:
- Consciously adapt treatment process parameters
- Select flocculant polymers
- Set standards for different sludge types
These actions will be based on solid, reproducible data, leading to more environmentally-friendly water treatment operations and drastically reduced energy consumption for sludge incineration.
