Slow cycles
Filter time limits throughput or creates a treatment backlog.
Stop paying to move
water in your sludge.
Sludge quality is created upstream of the filter press. MCi evaluates the treatment chemistry, floc structure, and separation method together to improve how solids settle, filter, release water, and leave the facility.
Better cake begins
before dewatering.
A filter can only separate the solids it receives. Particle size, floc strength, oil content, mineral structure, feed consistency, and pressure all affect the result. Treatment trials should therefore compare both water quality and solids behavior.
The objectiveForm a stable, filterable solids phase that releases water efficiently and reduces the operational effort or disposal volume associated with sludge.
Media blinding
Fine or oily solids seal the cloth and demand frequent cleaning.
Soft cake
Sludge is difficult to release, convey, handle, or containerize.
Disposal weight
Excess water increases hauling and landfill cost.
Measure the water
and the solids.
A successful treatment test should be judged by the entire separation result—not clarity alone.
Follow the solids
Review how floc forms, settles, transfers, filters, releases, and is ultimately disposed.
Test alternatives
Evaluate chemistry, dose, reaction, filtrate, cycle behavior, and cake characteristics side by side.
Tune the whole train
Coordinate feed consistency, mixing, conditioning, filtration, pressure, and operator timing.

Share current chemical use, filter type, cycle time, cake condition, disposal method, and representative wastewater or sludge.
Treatment and dewatering results vary by wastewater and equipment. Testing is required before final performance expectations are established.
