A palm oil mill in Southeast Asia recently installed a screw press sludge dewatering machine to improve sludge management in its wastewater treatment system. Palm oil production generates large volumes of wastewater known as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), which contains high concentrations of organic matter, oil, and suspended solids.
POME is one of the most challenging industrial wastewaters to treat. Typical POME characteristics include COD levels of 40,000–60,000 mg/L and suspended solids of 15,000–25,000 mg/L, resulting in significant sludge production during biological treatment.
To address this challenge, the plant installed a screw press sludge dewatering machine to improve sludge handling efficiency. After installation, the system produced sludge cake with approximately 20–25% solids content, reducing sludge volume by nearly 80%.
The equipment operates continuously with low energy consumption and minimal maintenance, making it reliable sludge dewatering equipment for palm oil mill wastewater treatment plants.
