Dewatering Press
The FOURNIER ROTARY PRESS™ offers a highly efficient solid-liquid dewatering separation for a range of industries that handles biomass, sludge, pulp, or other suspension materials.
An efficient and economical dewatering solution.
The Fournier Rotary Press™ is a solid-liquid separation technology that significant advantages over traditional dewatering solutions. With distinct models suitable for high fiber-containing sludges (CVP) and biological sludges (CVH), it offers a highly effective dewatering process that uses less polymers, power and water compared to other technologies.
The installation of the rotary press requires a smaller footprint and boasts a modular and expandable design, providing cost-effective expansion opportunities as capacity demands grow. Additionally, its slow rotational speed results in lower noise and reduced vibrations, enhancing the work environment and simplifying installation-site requirements.
PERMANENTLY REDUCED OPEX
Capable of handling 0.5% to 10% inlet consistencies, it can replace pre-thickening and main dewatering equipment.
Recognized for best-in-class operational flexibility and low OPEX, its enclosed design prevents odor emissions and maintains a clean machine environment. High automation possibilities and reliability minimize operator attendance, freeing up time for other worktasks.
Lab and pilot tests ensure sound performance data at an industrial scale.
KEY METRICS:
▶️ Slow rotation speed: 0.5 to 2 rpm.
▶️ Cake total solids percentage varies: 15% to >58% based on sludge type.
▶️ Filtrate total suspended solids capture rates: 95% to 99.5%, dependent on sludge type and polymer usage.
▶️ Minimal internal abrasion, even with abrasive sludges.
▶️ Energy consumption ranges: 2 to 7 kW/hr per dry ton of sludge.
▶️ Flow rates per hr/dewatering module: 2 to 12 m3/hr, dependent on sludge type and dewaterability.
▶️ Optimized polymer consumption.
▶️ Recognized for the lowest operational expenses across the life cycle compared to competing technologies.
