Removing the water content (dewatering) of the sludge will dry the sludge, making it lighter and easier to move and reuse. (Reuse depends on whether the sludge is toxic and has to be stored safely or, as in human sludge from a sewerage farm, used as fertilizer by farmers, etc ).
Sludge can go through various treatment processes, such as digestion or dewatering, to reduce its volume and make it easier to handle. Ultimately, sludge is often disposed of in landfills, incinerated, or used for agricultural purposes as fertilizer or soil conditioner.
proposed types of dewatering processes
Dewatering is a process of removing water from the soil, especially in the solid part. Belt press issues, belt filter press and centrifuge are some of the examples of dewatering.
Sludge and scum usually contain bacteria, but the terms do not mean bacteria, they just mean sticky, gooey, messy, nasty, filthy substances.
There are many different ways of dewatering soil and/or land. Using centrifuge techniques, filtration, or by simply pumping the water out of a deep well or hole in a construction site.

3 types: Sewage sludge Septic tank sludge Industrial sludge ------- The term "sludge" is used in different disciplines to mean different things. For example, there is sewage sludge industrial sludge metal sludge gallbladder sludge engine sludge the muddy gunk on the bottom of a stream or river slushy ice on the ocean an agglutination or aggregation of blood cells
Paper sludge is the leftover chemical sludge that is expelled when making paper. This sludge reduces as paper is recycled.
Polymer is a coagulent that is added to a flow to help separate out components, typically solids from liquids. In dewatering it assists with centrifuging sludge, and in filtering water assists with controlling turbidity.
"Thy Name is Mud" meaning: You have a tarnished, or bad, reputation.
It means that there are no gall stones present and no bilious sludge. That is a very good thing. No problems found.
