Abstract
Disclosed is a dynamic separation and filtration system for dewatering and dehydrating of slurries and sludges. The system includes a compression filter press cylinder in which hydraulic pressure within a sealed liner is used to press and separate moisture from a sludge. A self-contained closed sealed liner pressurizing component is connected thereto, for supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid to the sealed liner, and a compressed air and vacuum and backflushing cylinder component is connected thereto for voiding the press cylinder of a resulting cake. A sludge transfer and metering component supplies metered quantities of sludge to the press cylinder. A dynamic filtration clarifier and thickener initially separates solids from a slurry and thickens the slurry into sludge that is supplied to the metering component.
