Cloacina has revolutionized sludge thickening by being the first company to incorporate Silicon Carbide (SIC) membranes into a package sludge thickening system that can be easily installed at sites with thickening needs. Clients can now thicken sludge without the use of polymers and their downstream effects! Cloacina’s CEMPAC includes a silicon carbide ceramic flat sheet membrane capable of thickening difficult waste streams: up to 5% solids, very high or low pH ranges and those containing abrasives. The membrane is extremely durable, can be pressure washed and, if properly cared for, has an expected useful life of decades. The membrane has easy recovery of flux and can be stored dry. The CEMPAC can be incorporated into any existing wastewater treatment system.
