The elcetrodewatering filter press(EDFP) which had anode and cathod plates to be set between filter plates was built for reducing the waterworks sludge and improving performance of dewatering equipment. Several tests to compare the dewaterability with conventional mechanical filter press dewatering(MDEP) and EDFP was conducted through this equipment. As test results, filtration amount discharged from EDFP measured 43.2 kg which increased against MDFP, and cake weight measured 4 kg which was two times against MDFP. The water content of dewatered cake from EDFP was 55wt% and dewatering velocity was 2.3 $kg/m^2{\cdot}cycle$. This water content decrease 20% and dewatering velocity increased 30% with compare to the MDFP. That is to say, EDFP constructed from electrodewatering mechanism increase filtrate discharging amount, which make dewatering velocity increase and produce the low water content dewatered cake against MDFP. Energy consumption of EDFP is analysed to 400 kwh/DS ton. The results to analysis the economical aspect considering the power consumption and the handling cost decline as sludge volume reduction due to producing the low water content cake showed that expenses to handle sludge of 1 ton by dry solid base cut down on 20,000 won. If considering several test aspects, it was analysed that EDFP was excellent in the side of performance as well as economical suitability.

In this study, an experiment of sewage sludge dewatering is carried by using electrokinetic method, and the electrokinetic dewatering efficiency of digested sludge is analyzed. Digested sludge without coagulants is selected and gravitational and pressing dewatering methods are applied in combination with electro-osmotic and electro-osmotic pulse technology. After the test of digested sludge, dewatering test of thickened sludge is carried to evaluate the electrokinetic dewatering feasibility of thickened sludge. Under the condition of constantly applied voltage, however, electrical resistance increases with decreasing of water content so that dewatering rate decreases with time. To reduce such a hindrance caused by constantly applied voltage, electro-osmotic pulse technology which is considered to reduce the difference of water content with height, is applied. For the application of electro-osmotic pulse, the dewatered flow rate and the dewatered volume became more increasing from the middle of the dewatering process than that of continuous voltage. Through the test of thickened sludge, electro-osmotic dewatering combined with gravitational and expression also showed high dewatering rate, which proved the possibility of using electrokinetic dewatering.

The sludge disposal is a major economic factor in the sewage treatment facility operation. Moreover, since the ocean dumping will be prohibited by Korean environmental law from 2013, sludge should be eliminated or sludge volumetric reduction should be performed urgently. In this study, improvement of the sewage sludge dewaterability was investigated by ultrasound and electric field treatment. Sludge was treated by a single or in combination of either the electric field or ultrasound on a pilot pretreatment facility, then it was dewatered by lab-scale filter press. The operating input energy of ultrasound device was varied from 225~1,200 kJ/L and electric field device was varied from 4.5~24 kJ/L. The water contents of dewatered sludge cake treated with ultrasound (1,200 kJ/L) and combination of ultrasound/electric field (1,224 kJ/L) were decreased 10~12% by comparing non-treated sludge. At that time, water contents were 65~66%. The combination treatment of ultrasound/electric field was effective to reduce water content of dewatered sludge cake, however, water content was not changed by a single treatment of electric field because of low energy density.

Application of electrodewatering (EDW) to mechanical dewatering system was studied to decrease water content in the sludge generated from waste water treatment process. Experiments realized the reduction of water content in the sewage sludge. EDW enhancing the conventional filtration by an electric field is an emerging technology with the potential to improve dewatering. In this study, a piston filter press was constructed, the digested sludges were dewatered by EDW under conditions of DC electric field and constant pressure in the piston filter press. Constant electric field from $0{\sim}120\;V/cm$ and constant pressure $98.1{\sim}392.4\;kPa$ were used. The results showed that as electric field was increased the dewatering rates increased and as pressure was increased the dewatering rates decreased. Also as polymer was added the dewatering rates increased. This experiments produced final sludge cake with water content of 60 wt% using EDW, compared with 80 wt% using pressure filtration alone.

Various technical methods are applied for removing water from the water-retaining media, and the energy efficiency is the main concern in those methods. The electroosmotic process is studied as an efficient way for dewatering. An experimental electroosmotic reactor is designed and used for evaluating the effects of operational variables. The operational variables such as the electrical fields and the structure of water-retaining medias were studied. Three different shapes of polarized electric fields in ranges of 0-100 V/cm and 0-10 kHz are used as the source of electric voltage. The effect of electroosmotic process with respect to the structural variation is estimated by filling the electroosmotic reactor with the glass beads in 0.18 mm, 0.35 mm and 1.2 mm in diameters. 6% of water removal is obtained in the simulating electroosmotic reactor of glass beads. The estimated energy consumption in the simulating electroosmotic was 330~490 cal/g-water.
