Sludge Line Engineering

We strive to offer each client the best Upgrades solutions based on a thorough analysis of the entire sludge line's performance.

Cambi’s Sludge Line Engineering services provide a structured approach to modernising and optimising existing wastewater treatment plants. We begin with a Feasibility Study, delivering a robust technical and financial assessment that supports informed decision-making and investment planning.

Our approach includes:

• A comprehensive assessment of current operations and equipment constraints
• Characterisation of substrates (e.g., %DS, %VS)
• Development of mass and energy balances
• Recommendations to improve energy efficiency and process integration across the entire sludge line
• Preliminary cost calculations and investment overview for the entire sludge line
• Definition of required new equipment and process units

Typical unit operations assessed:

• Pre-dewatering
• Sludge silos
• Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) units
• Auxiliary boilers
• Sludge cooling systems
• Anaerobic digestion
• Digestate tanks
• Final dewatering

Depending on the client's needs, Cambi can extend the scope to include Basic or Detailed Engineering documentation for the entire sludge line.

Our goal is to offer a holistic view of expansion projects, identifying bottlenecks and risks early, and ensuring a future-proof, integrated solution.
