Tuning THP: How Operating Conditions Affect Centrate Colour, COD Solubilisation and Dewaterability 

18 November 2025 12:00 GMT | 13:00 CET | 14:00 SAST | 15:00 AST | 16:00 GST EMEA

Join a deep dive into the results of a new Cambi laboratory study showing how varying process conditions affect sludge dewaterability, COD solubilisation, and centrate colour formation in both raw and digested sludge. 

Participants will gain insight into which THP settings appear most effective for achieving specific priorities, based on the study’s findings. The webinar will also compare full Cambi (pre-AD) and SolidStream (post-AD) configurations, highlighting the benefits and trade-offs of each approach.  

This session will include study results presented at this year’s Residuals & Biosolids and Innovations in Treatment Technology Conference in Maryland, USA.  

What You’ll Learn? 

Based on the study results: 

  • The effects of varying temperatures and retention times on sludge dewaterability 
  • How process conditions shift COD solubilisation and what that could mean for biogas production 
  • Observed differences in centrate colour between raw and digested sludge with varying Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) conditions 

Plus, a live Q&A with the researchers behind the study. 

Who Should Attend?

  • Process engineers and technical staff, as well as researchers and consultants interested in THP, anaerobic digestion, and biosolids optimisation 
  • Wastewater treatment professionals looking to improve sludge handling and treatment performance. 
  • Utility decision-makers evaluating advanced sludge treatment technologies.
