In the harsh climate of Siberia, an industrial sewage treatment plant has successfully tackled winter operational challenges by adopting innovative sludge treatment technology. The facility replaced outdated equipment with a highly automated, low-temperature resistant system, significantly reducing sludge transportation and disposal costs by over 40% and lowering daily labor costs by 60%.

Addressing Siberia’s Winter Challenges

For years, the plant struggled with inefficient traditional equipment that performed poorly in extreme cold, leading to low dewatering efficiency and high chemical consumption. The need for a space-saving, low-maintenance solution was critical due to a shortage of on-site operators and limited technical maintenance capabilities.

Qilee’s engineers provided a breakthrough with a customized solution that includes a screw sludge dewatering machine and an intelligent chemical dosing machine. This system eliminates the need for a separate sludge thickening tank and features specialized low-temperature anti-corrosion technology. Heat tracing and thermal insulation prevent ice blockages, ensuring continuous operation.

Efficiency and Environmental Compliance

The system maintains stable treatment capacity, reducing the moisture content of discharged sludge and cutting transportation and disposal costs. Automated chemical dosing has reduced flocculant consumption by 25%, and the high level of automation allows for unattended operation, slashing labor costs.

The plant has achieved zero freezing damage during peak winter, fully complying with local environmental standards and avoiding regulatory penalties. The success of this project has led to plans for long-term cooperation, with the client intending to purchase more equipment from Qilee.
