Sludge Treatment Chemicals Overview
Sludge treatment chemicals are used in sludge treatment processes. In order to remove harmful agents from sludge including heavy metal particles and abrasives different type of chemicals are used at different stages of sludge treatment process. For wastewater treatment, sludge treatment chemicals follow some processes which include removal of solid particles from sludge, neutralization, odor control, disinfection and removal of sludge & its treatment. There are various prominent processes which are used for sludge chemical treatment including chemical precipitation, chemical coagulation, chemical oxidation and chemical stabilization process. Further, these sludge treatment chemicals are highly used in municipal water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment processes. Some of the very common sludge treatment chemicals are coagulants, flocculants and polymers.
