What Does CST Stand For?
CST stands for Capillary Suction Time Sludge Dewatering Parameter
CST, or Capillary Suction Time Sludge Dewatering Parameter, is a critical measurement used to assess the dewatering characteristics of sludge in wastewater treatment processes. It quantifies the time required for water to be removed from sludge through capillary action, providing valuable insight into the effectiveness of dewatering technologies. A lower CST indicates better dewaterability, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing disposal costs. This parameter is essential for optimizing sludge management and improving overall treatment performance.
