② Flow Control Tank
Sludge from a storage tank is regulated to adjust feed sludge volume supplied to the
flow control tank by the sludge feed pump, and constant amount exceeds V weir and it
flows into the focculation tank. The sludge of the remainder returns from the water level
adjustment pipe back to the storage tank.
V weir
③ Flocculation Tank
In the Flocculation Tank admixing of the chemical substance is carried out in order to
form flock. The flock is then transferred to the Volute drum where instantaneous gravity
thickening takes place at the same time and then the flock moves through the
thickening zone.
④ Control Panel
Control Panel has the function not only for manual operation but also for fully automatic
unattended operation with 24 hours timer for the attached facilities.
Water level control is possible as well by means of receiving operation signal from a
sludge storage tank.
*Circuit of sludge pump and chemical feed pump is included in the Control Panel.

2. Design Criteria
The following Design Criteria should be met when you install Volute
Dewatering Press in your WWTP facility design.
2-3 Performance
1) Standard Throughput
100 φ × 1 pc ~ 3 kg-DS/h (surplus sludge) ~ 5 kg-DS/h (floating floth)
200 φ × 1 pc ~ 9 kg-DS/h (surplus sludge) ~ 15 kg-DS/h (floating floth)
2) Water content of sludge cake is below 85% in case of dewatering surplus sludge
from biological treatment.
3) Chemicals for the right performance can be selected from Polyferric Sulfate and Polymer
Coagulant depending on sludge property.
(8/19)
【Explanation】
1) Throughput is influenced by sludge property (quality and concentration).
2) The use of standard polymer coagulant such as Anion and Cation easily achieves 85%
or lower water content of sludge cake. When water content of sludge cake is the highest
priority of a client, it is possible to achieve a better performance by selecting a more
suitable polymer coagulant.
3) In case of flocculated sludge, add Anion 2.5 ~ 3.0%(liquid conversion against DS) and
Cation 2.5 ~ 3.0% (liquid conversion against DS).
In case of activated sludge, add Polyferric Sulfate 15% and in Amphibious 2.5 ~ 3.0%
(liquid conversion).
【Explanation】
1) Volute motor speed is controlled by the inverter to adjust a process speed easily. In
case when Volute Screw are more than 2 pieces, thermal switch are equipped at the
secondary inverter.
Flocculation Tank Agitator is controlled with the inverter for correct reaction of sludge
and polymer.

3. Criteria of the Devices Prepared by Customers
Volute Dewatering Press needs a “Sludge Feed Pump” and a “Polymer Feed
Pump”.
The Sludge Feed Pump capacity should be decided by the throughput. Please refer to the
table below.
* Calculation Sample
【Conditions】
Volute Model: ES-101SA
Throughput: 3 kg-DS / h
Sludge Concentration: 10,000 mg / L
【Selection Method】
“Throughput (kg-DS / h) ÷ Sludge Concentration (mg / L)”
【Calculation】
Pump Dosage : 3 kg-DS / h ÷ 10,000 mg / L = 0.3 m3 / h
Pump Capacity : 0.3 m3 / h ÷ 60 min = 5.0 L / min
【Required Capacity】
Required pump capacity is 5.0 L / min.
*Note
_Please select a pump which has capacity exceeding the figure described above in the
“Table-5” and the “Calculation Sample”.
_Please select a pump in consideration for pump head.
_For selections and details, please contact pump supplier.
(14/19)
3-2 Polymer Feed Pump
Polymer Feed Pump shall be out of AMCON’s scope.
The polymer feed pump capacity should be decided by the throughput and addition ratio.
Please refer to the table below.
* Calculation Sample
【Conditions】
Volute Model: ES-101SA
Throughput: 3 kg-DS / h
Sludge Concentration: 10,000 mg / L
Dilution Rate: 0.1 %
Adding Rate: DS of 1.0 %
Polymer Density: 1 g / cm3
【Selection Method】
“Throughput (kg-DS / h) × Adding Rate (%) ÷ Dilution Rate (%) ÷ Density (g / cm3)”
【Calculation】
Polymer Dosage : 3 kg-DS / h × 1.0 % ÷ 0.1 % ÷ 1.0 g / cm3 = 30 L / h
Pump Capacity : 30 L / h ÷ 60 min = 500 ml / min
【Required Capacity】
Required pump capacity is 500 ml / min.
*Note
_Please select the flow adjustable pump or equipment.
_Please select a pump which has capacity exceeding the figure described above in the
“Table-6” and the “Calculation Sample”.
_Please select a pump in consideration for pump head.
_For selections and details, please contact a pump supplier.
_Capacity would be different depending on sludge concentration.
_Adding rate is depending on the kind of sludge. In case of concentrated sludge, add Anion
0.5% ~ 1.0%,Cation 0.5% ~ 1.0% against DS. In case of activated sludge, add Cation 0.5% ~ 1.0%.
(15/19)
3-3 Water Supply
Necessary water pressure for showering is 0.1 ~ 0.2Mpa. Thus, only normal water pressure is fine.
The filtration part of Volute Dewatering Press is designed as “clog-free”, making rinsing
water unnecessary. However, shower is equipped to clean leaked sludge on the Cylinder by
automatic operation.
Approximate shower water consumption is listed in the Table-7.

4. Running Cost
* Calculation Sample
【Condition】
Volute Model: ES-101SA Throughput : 3 kg-DS / h
Dilution Rate: 0.1 % Adding Rate : DS of 1.0 %
Polymer Gravity: 1 g / cm3 Operating Cycle : 8 h / day
【Polymer Consumption】
3 kg DS / h x 1.0 % x 8 h / day = 240 g / day

5. Consumable Parts
Note:
_The life span in the Table-9 is only for your reference, calculated based on the operating
conditions of treating excess sludge from biological treatment, producing 15% DS cake, at 8
hours per day. This data is acquired through a research on wearing of Moving Rings and
Volute Screw, recorded in the Technical Document.
The life span varies depending on types of feed sludge and quality, especially on
inorganic sludge. Moreover, producing sludge cake with solid content higher than
approximately 17% may result in a shorter life span.
_Depending on wearing conditions, Moving Rings at thickening zone may have to be
exchanged.
_As long as Volute continues to operate normally, being confirmed by sludge cake produced
and leakage on the Cylinder, the consumable parts do not have to be replaced even after
the listed life span.
