LUCAS DS is Waterleau’s innovative densified sludge technology, designed to maximize treatment capacity while minimizing plant footprint and total cost of ownership. This presentation will explore the principles behind the technology and its application in both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. Drawing on full-scale operational experience, Dr. Michel Caluwé will present performance results, key design considerations, and lessons learned from implemented projects. Attendees will gain insight into how densified sludge can enable more compact, efficient, and cost-effective treatment solutions.
