Dear Marco,

One can test the dewatering capability of sludge by using a Mareco minipress. The test results gives an figure about proper dosing of chemicals, and also give a better founded decission about the right polymer and the dosing of the polymer. Better dewatering capabilites results in lower sludge volume, resulting in lower energy consumprion. So - not an answer about power consumption, but hopefully an idea for energy and chemical reduction.
