Gravity settling and centrifugation increase the acid buffer …
Conventionally, sludge thickening (gravity settling and/or centrifugation) has been thought to be a critical step to reduce the buffer, because it can remove the buffer contained in the supernatant. In fact, thickening also affects sludge dewaterability (Yang et al., 2020). As such, the sludge buffer capacity could affect the efficiency of ...

Gravity Thickening
The solids concentrations achieved by gravity thickeners are typically 8 to 10% solids from primary underflow, 2 to 4% solids from waste activated sludge, 7 to 9% solids from trickling filter residuals, and 4 to 9% from combined primary and secondary residuals. The performance of gravity thickening processes depends on various factors, including:
