Detailed Description
Key aspects of urban sewage sludge dewatering: the core role of industrial filter cloth and filter belt in belt filter presses
With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous improvement of urban sewage treatment capacity, the problem of sludge disposal is becoming increasingly severe. As a byproduct of sewage treatment, sludge is characterized by high water content, high organic matter, and easy decomposition. If not dewatered in time, it will not only cause secondary pollution but also increase the burden on subsequent transportation, landfill, or resource utilization. Belt filter press has become one of the most commonly used sludge dewatering equipment in urban sewage treatment plants, while industrial filter cloth and filter belt are the core components for the efficient operation of such equipment.
I. Challenges of urban sewage sludge dewatering
Sludge has a complex composition, mainly consisting of bacterial residues, organic matter, inorganic particles, and a large amount of water. Its water content is generally 97%~99% or so, while the water content required for final disposal (such as incineration, landfill, or resource utilization) generally needs to be reduced to 60% or below.
The key goal of sludge dewatering is to maximize dewatering efficiency while controlling energy consumption and operating costs, and ensuring the stability and safety of the filter cake.
II. Advantages and principles of belt filter presses
Belt filter presses use two continuously running belts (i.e., filter belts) to hold the sludge between them. Under the combined action of gravity, wedge-shaped pre-pressing, and multi-stage roller pressing, the free water and some capillary water in the sludge are quickly squeezed out, achieving the purpose of dewatering. Compared with other types of pressure filtration equipment, belt filter presses have the following advantages:
- Large processing capacity, suitable for continuous operation;
- Low energy consumption, easy operation;
- High degree of automation, easy maintenance;
- Stable filter cake moisture content, low operating cost.
III. The role of industrial filter cloth and filter belt
1. Core filter medium
In the entire sludge pressing process, industrial filter cloth and filter belt are the direct contact surface between the sludge and the mechanical pressing system and play multiple functions of intercepting solids, allowing liquids to pass through, bearing tension, and assisting in dewatering. Their performance directly determines the dewatering efficiency, filter cake quality, and equipment life.
2. Key performance indicators of filter cloth
High-quality filter cloth should have the following properties:
- Good permeability and retention performance ：Able to quickly pass through water while retaining small particles;
- Excellent tensile strength and wear resistance ：Withstand long-term high-intensity mechanical stretching and friction;
- Surface flatness ：Ensure smooth filter cake separation and minimal residue;
- Chemical corrosion resistance ：To cope with acidic and alkaline substances that may be present in the sludge;
- Anti-clogging and regenerability ：Avoid pore clogging due to long-term use, supporting backwashing or reuse after replacement.
3. Belt design and structural optimization
Filter belts mostly adopt single-layer or double-layer woven structures. According to different equipment tensioning methods and sludge types, customized designs with different weave densities, air permeability, thickness, and joint methods can be provided. Some high-end applications will also have special surface treatments (such as coatings, anti-adhesive treatments) on the filter cloth to enhance dewatering efficiency and self-cleaning ability.
IV. Xiamen Citius (Citius) ：A professional provider of filter cloths for urban sludge treatment
As a leading domestic filtration material technology textile manufacturing enterprise, Xiamen Citius (Citius) Filtration Material Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on providing high-performance filter cloth and belt solutions for the sewage treatment industry.

- Excellent filter cake separation performance ：Easy filter cake separation, reducing operating resistance and manual intervention;
- High throughput and stable dewatering capacity ：Ensuring efficient processing under long-term stable operation of the filter cloth;
- Supporting technical support ：Provides on-site testing, filter cloth replacement cycle suggestions, and regeneration services.
Citius (Citius) ' products have been widely used in urban sewage treatment plants across the country, providing strong support for improving the reduction and resource utilization of sludge.
V. Future trends and conclusions
With the promotion of sludge resource utilization policies and the clear dual-carbon goals, the technical requirements for urban sludge dewatering will become increasingly higher. The new generation of filter cloths will pay more attention to Applications of multifunctional composite materials, intelligent monitoring, and self-cleaning capabilities improvement.
Industrial filter cloths and filter belt mesh, as key materials for solid-liquid separation, will continue to play a “ hidden leading role ” in wastewater and sludge treatment. Choosing filter cloths with stable performance and strong adaptability is not only a guarantee for equipment operation efficiency, but also a basic support for urban green development.
