Are you being asked to improve dewatering performance? This workshop will focus on practical ways to get better cake solids and capture, reduce polymer consumption, and reduce O&M costs. We will cover dewatering and polymer "101" to the state-of-the-science, show a video of a hands-on demonstration of sludge/polymer flocculation, present successful case studies, and describe proven optimization measures that you can implement. Whether you are a plant manager, engineer, operator, consultant, or manufacturer, this workshop is for you.
