 SLUDGE REDUCTION THROUGH KURARAY PVA GEL

Now a days one of the biggest problem is sludge disposal which is generated during the
process. A unique technology developed by KURARAY is SLUDGE REDUCTION- TOX.

Advantages for sludge-reduction systems

PVA gel is excellent for sludge reduction (total oxidation, TOX) due to the lesser amount
of sludge produced and higher endogenous decay rate.
PVA gel systems work well with membrane -separation processes for sludge -water
separation (including MBR type).
