Abstract: AMBATA, ABEL VILLANUEVA. Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April 1997."Development of Mechanized Sludge Solid—Liquid Separator”. Adviser: Engr. Jaime Q. Dilidili. A mechanized sludge solid—liquid separator was constructed in Imus, Cavite and was evaluated at the Acquired Land piggery project of the Don Severino Agricultural college, Indang, Cavite from January to March 1997. The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the machine in solids capture and solids dewatering; determine what kind of filtering material (filter cloth or foam) is efficient in separating solids from liquid; quantify parameters such as total solids content and pH before and after the solid— liquid separation; and know the required speed of the machine that will give the most efficient separation. The machine was made up of three major components: housing, rotating—separating cone, and inlet assembly. The machine was evaluated using sludge from the piggery biogas plant with total solid content of 12.54 percent and pH of 6.97. The sludge was separated at three different rotational speeds of 950 rpm, 1100 rpm and 1200 rpm using filter cloth and foam as the type of filtering materials. Results show that the level of speed of rotation affected the separation of solids from liquid but was not affected by the type of filtering materials used. It was observed that the lower the speed of rotation the more efficient the machine in separating solids from liquid. Best separation was obtained at the rotational speed of 950 rpm and using foam as filtering materials. The machine reduced the percent total content of the sludge from 39.71 percent to 44.23 percent. It was concluded that the separated liquid can be safely disposed of in lands or in inland waters without violating the DENR standards for liquid waste disposal.

A mechanized sludge solid—liquid separator was constructed in Imus, Cavite and was evaluated at the Acquired Land piggery project of the Don Severino Agricultural college, Indang, Cavite from January to March 1997. The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the machine in solids capture and solids dewatering; determine what kind of filtering material (filter cloth or foam) is efficient in separating solids from liquid; quantify parameters such as total solids content and pH before and after the solid— liquid separation; and know the required speed of the machine that will give the most efficient separation. The machine was made up of three major components: housing, rotating—separating cone, and inlet assembly.
The machine was evaluated using sludge from the piggery biogas plant with total solid content of 12.54 percent and pH of 6.97. The sludge was separated at three different
rotational speeds of 950 rpm, 1100 rpm and 1200 rpm using filter cloth and foam as the type of filtering materials.
Results show that the level of speed of rotation affected the separation of solids from liquid but was not affected by the type of filtering materials used. It was
observed that the lower the speed of rotation the more efficient the machine in separating solids from liquid.
Best separation was obtained at the rotational speed of 950 rpm and using foam as filtering materials. The machine reduced the percent total content of the sludge from 39.71 percent to 44.23 percent.
It was concluded that the separated liquid can be safely disposed of in lands or in inland waters without violating the DENR standards for liquid waste disposal.
