Abstract

Dewatering plays an important role in sludge minimization and reuse. In this study, pressure-driven electro-dewatering (EDW) was investigated using a lab device and various operating parameters were optimised. Furthermore, the EDW system’s economic and environmental performances were evaluated using Life Cycle Assessment. These results can be interesting for the stakeholders within the WWTP industry who are considering upgrading from the conventional mechanical dewatering to the EDW.
