Filterfuge

Filterfuge™, is a new mobile, high performance centrifuge technology, patented worldwide.  Its revolutionary design and engineering offers a cost-effective solid/liquid separation unit that is ideal for removing liquids from wastewater sludge and industrial slurries, without the need to add chemical flocculates or polymers.

The Process

Filterfuge™ effectively and economically handles a variety of waste sludge, producing an end product that is suitable for drying, direct land application, or incineration, depending on the type of sludge involved.

The Filterfuge™ process pumps liquid waste directly onto a rotating centrifuge drum.  As the drum rotates it propels the sludge against a filter.  The centrifugal force of the rotating drum causes the sludge to slide down alongside the filter liner, separating solids from liquids. 

As the dewatered sludge compacts on the side of the drum, it forms a cake.  Two scrapers push the cake into a receptor/auger system, after which it is discharged from the system.
