Instrumentation and Valves for Biosolids and Sludge

Adaptive helps wastewater plants handle sludge and biosolids: relief and knife gate valves for lines with solids, level measurement for sludge tanks and gas detection around digesters. Tell us about your process and we will help you choose.

Common Applications & Challenges

Challenges we help with

  • Sludge lines that would clog a conventional relief valveRupture Pin relief valves keep the pin outside the process, so solids can't foul the part that holds the valve closed. View Rupture Pin
  • Isolating lines that carry sludge and suspended solidsEBRO knife gate valves are made for sludge and liquids with suspended solids. View EBRO
  • Measuring level in heavy sludgeBlue Ribbon submersible level transmitters come in Flush-mount and Birdcage designs for sludge and slurries. View Blue Ribbon Corp
  • Pressure readings on sludge and slurry linesNOSHOK makes a clog-resistant flow-through annular seal for slurries and heavy sludges. View NOSHOK
  • Methane, hydrogen sulfide and oxygen around digestersR.C. Systems fixed and wireless detectors watch for methane, hydrogen sulfide and oxygen around digesters. View R.C. Systems
  • Odor and corrosive gases at treatment plantsFreudenberg gas phase filtration controls odor and corrosive gases at sewage treatment plants. View Freudenberg Filtration Technologies
  • Oxygen in digester gasBarben optical oxygen analyzers measure digester outlet oxygen. View Barben Analytical

Applications

  • Sludge and slurry line overpressure protection
  • Sludge and slurry tanks
  • Wet wells and process sumps with heavy sludge
  • Digesters and enclosed process areas
  • Digester gas oxygen and scrubber pH
  • Odor and corrosive gas control

Products We Represent

Manufacturers we represent with products documented for biosolids service.

Rupture Pin

Pressure relief and isolation valves
View Rupture Pin

Pin-actuated relief valves for sludge, slurry and plant process lines. The pin sits outside the process and never touches the media, so solids cannot foul the part that holds the valve closed.

Rupture Pin Model CC-ASME UD-stamped angle relief valve
ASME Code Relief Valves
Rupture Pin Model D inline pressure relief valve
Process Relief Valves
  • Sludge and slurry lines that would clog a conventional relief valve
  • Plant process line and vessel overpressure protection
  • ASME code-required relief on treatment plant equipment
