AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the high water content of sludge leads to long operating time and high cost of sludge dewatering machines, and sludge thickening tanks are not suitable for small-volume water treatment plants, increasing investment and operation and maintenance difficulties.
The system employs a combination of a float decanter, an ultrasonic sludge level gauge, and an electric butterfly valve. The float decanter floats on the surface of the wastewater to discharge the supernatant, while the ultrasonic sludge level gauge monitors the sludge concentration and controls the electric butterfly valve to achieve automatic drainage.
It effectively reduces the sludge moisture content from 99% to 98%, reducing the operating time and cost of the dewatering machine, eliminating the need for a sludge thickening tank, and simplifying the equipment structure and maintenance.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to sewage treatment and resource technology field especially, a device for reducing sludge moisture content. BACKGROUND
[0002] So far, the sludge dewatering on the market generally requires that the sludge moisture content is not more than 98%. The sludge moisture content of the primary sedimentation tank is generally 95% to 97%, the sludge moisture content of the residual sludge is generally 99.2% to 99.6%, and the sludge moisture content of the advanced treatment sludge is generally 90% to 97%. After mixing the three kinds of sludge, according to the conventional sewage sludge quantity and sludge moisture content calculation, the sludge moisture content after mixing is about 99%. In order to reduce the sludge moisture content and reduce the operation time of the sludge dewatering machine, the traditional process generally uses a sludge thickening tank for sludge thickening.

For a sewage treatment plant using activated sludge method for denitrification and phosphorus removal process, the phosphorus release reaction of the sludge thickening tank has a relatively large influence. For a small water quantity sewage treatment plant, the sludge thickening tank also increases the sewage treatment investment and land use, and increases the operation and maintenance difficulty.
