1. Laboratory testing

Lab Testing

Laboratory testing

The fact that we partnered with Fournier Industries Inc. to offer the Fournier Rotary PressTM dewatering technology to you gives us the advantage of sending sludge samples to their laboratory for testing.

Free tests on the sludge samples, allow us to characterize the specific sludge and to anticipate the performance of the Fournier Rotary PressTM, based on previous results in the same operation field.

It also put us in a position to decide the size of the press that will meet your requirements; therefore, we strongly recommend taking advantage of these laboratory tests.

2. Pilot testing

Pilot Testing

Pilot testing

We are fortunate to have a full-scale Fournier Rotary PressTM dewatering demonstration unit available in South Africa for pilot testing.

A pilot test is the most effective way to decide a sludge’s dewatering potential with the Fournier Rotary PressTM. It is important to underline that the Fournier Rotary PressTM channels on the pilot unit are full-sized, giving accurate performance and production data, on a per-channel basis.

Since the Fournier Rotary PressTM has a modular, channel design, this allows for precise equipment sizing and performance anticipations after the pilot test. The operational range of the equipment is equally tested during the trial, allowing us to determine the peak performance for the following important parameters:

  • Cake dryness
  • Minimal polymer consumption
  • Maximal capture rate
  • Maximal throughput and production, per channel


Call us to discuss your requirements in connection with a pilot test or the application to the specific sludge you want to dewater at your own site.
