See how ELODE work
ELODE is based upon a technology allowing a highly efficient dehydration to take place by extracting free water and absorbed water from sludge using electrophoresis and electro-osmosis mechanisms. It is distinguished from conventional dehydration methods, which extract just the free water from liquid sludge by applying high pressure and using large amount of coagulation and flocculation polymers.

The treated sludge cake from conventional dehydrators is fed through between the anode drum and the cathode caterpillar of ELODE machine. A three phase alternative current is applied to the anode drum and cathode caterpillar to create an electrical potential difference. This leads to strong migration of sludge particles to the anode drum, and water to cathode caterpillar. Thus, a highly efficient dehydration with a water level below 60wt% is accomplished.
