Instead of evaporating the water, Cinetik technology relies on the combined action of a controlled mechanical pressure and electro-osmosis, where an electrical field generated inside the sludge liberates and carries away the water bonded to hydrophilic particles. The combination of electricity, heat and pressure has a positive impact on disinfection, practically eliminating pathogens such as E.coli, salmonella, enteric viruses and parasites and treated biosolids will typically reach Class A standard.

John Koumoukelis, national sales manager, industrial/municipal, Eimco Water Technologies-AJM Environmental Services said: “Cinetik can further dewater such sludge to 50% dry solids, radically reducing volume and thus cartage and disposal costs. The technology can also produce exceptional quality biosolids with significant pathogen and odour reduction, both the structural properties and the odor of the sludge are improved.” Features of the Cinetik technology from Eimco Water Technologies-AJM Environmental Services include a simple fingertip operation, adjustments for varying sludge characteristics and desired parameters and seamless integration with existing processes and equipment.
