Abstract
A method of dewatering sludge is provided herein. In some embodiments, the method includes introducing micronized dry water soluble polymer (DWSP) particles into a sludge, wherein the sludge includes water and solids; separating water of the sludge from solids of the sludge using the micronized DWSP particles; and collecting a wet solid including water and solids of the sludge, wherein a concentration of solids in the wet solid is higher than a concentration of solids in the sludge, wherein the micronized DWSP particles comprise a DWSP wherein the DWSP is selected from the group consisting of a dry anionic water soluble polymer, a dry cationic water soluble polymer, a dry nonionic water soluble polymer, and mixtures thereof, and wherein a mean particle size of the micronized DWSP particles ranges from about 100 to about 300 microns.
