Biosolids Technology Fact Sheet: Belt Filter Press
United StatesEnvironmental ProtectionAgencyOffice of WaterWashington, 832-F-00-057 September 2000 BiosolidsTechnology Fact SheetBelt Filter PressDESCRIPTIONBelt Filter presses are used to remove water fromliquid wastewater residuals and produce anon-liquid material referred to as cake .Dewatered residuals, or cake, vary in consistencyfrom that of custard to moist soil. Dewateringserves the following purposes:CReducing the volume, thus reducing storageand transportation free liquids before fuel requirements if residuals areto be incinerated or a material which will havesufficient void space and volatile solids forcomposting when blended with a the potential of Biosolids poolingand runoff associated with liquid subsequent processes such asthermal belt Filter dewaters by applying pressure to thebiosolids to squeeze out the water.
of effluent can minimize these costs. DESIGN CRITERIA Belt presses are sized on the basis of weight or volume of solids to be dewatered rather than the wastewater flow to the plant. To determine how many presses are needed, the wastewater treatment plant must: C Determine the amount of primary solids that will flow through the plant per day.
