AbstractThis study was carried out to evaluate the use of viscosity measurements as a method of assessing the optimum use of organic polymers as conditioning agents in sludge dewatering. The study focused on sludge from the clarifiers of a water‐treatment works. In addition to viscosity measurements, the programme included an appraisal of other techniques for specifying dewater‐ability, e.g. the specific resistance to filtration, the capillary suction time and the electrical charge status via streaming‐current measurements.
