One of the exercise would be to optimise the dosage of coagulant plus optimum process factors pH etc., to reduce volume of the sludge produced as low as possible or if that been fine tuned, next option would be to place a pre-sedimentation tank before the coagulation which would help reduce dosage of chemicals and save running cost, and eventually reduce the final sludge resulting out of coagulation. If all been done and the concentration is only for the sludge , solid thickener facilities are ok, however, sludge reuse schemes can be suggested to avoid addition water for cleaning. The posted clarrification needs some detailed data on the source of supply and layout etc. without which its quite difficult to visualise the solution.
Thank you, Raman
