The City of Beaver Dam (Wis.) water and wastewater utilities are pulling closer together, in part thanks to a dewatering system that now handles lime slurry from the water treatment plant but will eventually handle wastewater biosolids, too.In July 2008, a 1.7-meter skid-mounted belt filter press from Bright Technologies, a division of Sebright, went to work at the wastewater treatment plant, dewatering lime slurry trucked over from the water plant across town, about one mile away.The press has already driven down the water utility’s lime slurry handling costs by producing cake at greater than 60 percent solids for land application
