Filter cake is a common byproduct of industrial chemical and physical waste water treatment, soil washing, the food industry, and other chemical processes. These wastes are frequently produced in large quantities and contain a variety of contaminants. The disposal of these wastes can be challenging and costly due to the high moisture content and often high degree of contamination accumulated in the filter cake. Our VacuDry® technology allows recovering valuable resources in these wastes while also eliminating the moisture content.
Benefits of VacuDry® filter cake plants
- Low energy consumption through efficient heat transfer
- Recovery of valuable resources including hydrocarbons, solvents or mercury
- Moisture removal for significant volume reduction
- High flexibility regarding different types of waste streams
- Optional: can be operated using green energy
