When treating wastewater, sludge and digestate, it often can be beneficial to reduce the volume of material or increase the solids content as well. Mechanical dewatering via a centrifuge or belt press — to separate solids and liquids — is standard for the water treatment and anaerobic digestion sectors. 

Industrial applications have numerous requirements for heat exchangers and thermal transfer. Heat exchanger uses span the gamut: compressor and engine cooling, transformer temperature regulation, heat recovery from various processes, and treatment of effluent, digestate and other waste streams, to name a few.
