A sludge concentrating apparatus comprising a sludge tank for storing sludge
and
a filter cloth having a shape of endless belt which turns between upper and lower
rollers, further comprising filtering means of which at least the lowermost of
rollers is immersed in the sludge, washing means of the filter cloth, and a filtrate
chamber having a filtrate introducing port in contact with the filter cloth and
a weir, wherein a sludge distributing tank serving as sludge introducing means
into the sludge tank is provided near the upper end of the filtrate introducing
port, and a concetrated sludge discharge tank serving as concertrated sludge introducing
means with the filter cloth in between; said sludge concentrating apparatus further
comprising coagulant adding means for adding an acid, and a flow adjustment device
serving as a sludge uniform feeding means which feeds sludge fed into the sludge
tank uniformly in the width direction of the filter cloth. It is thus possible
to efficiently concentrate sludge produced in a sewage disposal plant in a large
quantity without depending upon properties of sludge.
