Organic sludge cannot be treated based on assumptions. Each sludge is different, and the optimal treatment conditions must be identified through actual testing and validation.
Organic sludge is not a standardized material with consistent characteristics. Its properties continuously vary depending on factors such as the region, wastewater characteristics, treatment process, seasonal conditions, influent composition, chemical usage, and microbial environment.
Therefore, operating conditions that have been successfully applied at one site cannot simply be replicated at another site with the expectation of achieving the same results.
The purpose of the ELODE DEMO is not simply to demonstrate the equipment. It is to test the customer’s actual sludge and identify the most effective operating conditions for their specific application.
Even within the same country, the same city, or even the same type of wastewater treatment facility, sludge characteristics can vary significantly.
Sludge cannot be evaluated based on moisture content alone. In actual treatment, multiple characteristics interact and influence the overall dewatering performance.
Moisture Content
Initial moisture content and water-binding characteristics
Organic Content
Organic matter and microbial composition
Conductivity
Electrical conductivity and electrochemical responsiveness
Dewaterability
Actual resistance to dewatering and water-removal characteristics
Viscosity
Adhesiveness, flowability, and cake-forming characteristics
Chemical Condition
Type and dosage of coagulants/flocculants and pretreatment conditions
ELODE is not a one-size-fits-all system that treats every type of sludge using the same voltage, current, treatment time, belt speed, and operating parameters.
The key is to analyze the characteristics of each sludge and identify the most stable and efficient operating range through actual treatment testing.
During the DEMO test, the following parameters are evaluated and optimized:
BLUEWIN does not make assumptions about the treatment performance of organic sludge without actual testing.
Because organic sludge characteristics vary from site to site, it is not a responsible engineering approach to guarantee target moisture content, treatment capacity, or energy consumption without first conducting actual sludge tests.
In fact, many customers who have previously installed conventional dewatering or thermal drying systems have experienced situations where the actual on-site performance failed to achieve the originally proposed treatment capacity or target moisture content.
BLUEWIN takes a different approach.
We first test the actual sludge, collect and analyze the performance data, and then use the verified results as the basis for determining the main project design and performance guarantee conditions.
We do not promise first and verify later.
We verify first and promise only what has been proven.
ELODE-DEMO
Test the customer’s actual sludge to establish optimal operating conditions and reliable design data, while verifying performance directly on-site.
The validated data becomes the foundation for main project design and full-scale project implementation.
DEMO testing is more than just a demonstration.
Through DEMO testing, we obtain the actual data required for main project design,
from sludge characteristics and operating conditions to treatment performance and energy consumption.
SLUDGE Moisture Content · Conductivity · Viscosity · Organic Content · Dewaterability | PERFORMANCE Target Moisture Content · Treatment Capacity · Processing Time | PERFORMANCE Voltage · Current · Speed · Pressure |
ENERGY Power Consumption · Treatment Efficiency · OPEX | CAKE Thickness · Stickiness · Dischargeability · Conveyability | PROCESS Upstream & Downstream Process Integration Conditions |
Through these DEMO tests, we can obtain actual data such as the optimal operating conditions for the sludge, expected treatment capacity, target moisture content, energy consumption, cake characteristics, and downstream process integration requirements.
The verified data becomes the basis for determining the ELODE model selection, number of units required, OPEX, installation configuration, and performance criteria for the main project.
Under suitable sludge conditions and optimized operating conditions, ELODE can reduce sludge moisture content from approximately 80% to 60% in about 90 seconds.
The customer can directly observe and verify the actual dewatering performance of their own sludge through the DEMO test, including target moisture content, moisture content reduction, cake condition, and separation characteristics.
DEMO data becomes the design basis for the main project.
The field-proven data obtained through DEMO testing serves as a key reference for equipment selection, system configuration, process engineering, and project feasibility assessment.
Based on the test results, the most suitable ELODE model and number of units can be determined for the site, while key project parameters such as target treatment capacity, operating hours, upstream and downstream process configuration, expected energy consumption, and OPEX can be defined in detail.
This enables customers to evaluate the project more clearly based on data verified with their actual sludge, while BLUEWIN and its partners can use the results as the technical basis for detailed engineering and main project design.
For local partners and Sole Agents in particular, the DEMO serves as a field-proven business development platform, allowing them to demonstrate ELODE performance directly at customer sites and convert verified results into new project opportunities and full-scale main projects.
BLUEWIN operates a Sole Agent Partnership Program that enables local partners to professionally introduce ELODE technology in their respective countries, demonstrate its performance directly at customer sites, and jointly develop opportunities into full-scale projects.
Our Sole Agents are not simply product sales partners. They are local technical and business partners who understand the ELODE technology and operating principles, test customers’ actual sludge, and propose the most suitable solutions based on verified results.
We Select Professional Partners to Grow ELODE Together
03. BLUEWIN Sole Agent Technical Training Program
Understand ELODE Technology. Operate It with Confidence.
ELODE is a technology that requires optimal operating conditions to be established according to sludge characteristics and site conditions.
Therefore, for a Sole Agent to operate the DEMO unit reliably at customer sites and obtain accurate results, it is essential to fully understand the technical principles, equipment structure, and operating methods of ELODE.
BLUEWIN’s technical training program is designed to develop Sole Agents beyond equipment sales representatives into professional technical partners who can analyze customer sludge, determine optimal operating conditions, and explain the technology directly at the customer site.
1st Training
ELODE Principles · Structure · Operation · Maintenance
2nd Training
Actual Sludge Testing · Operation Optimization · On-Site Technical Support
Through the training program, Sole Agents develop the local technical capabilities required to manage the entire process from:
DEMO Operation → Data Analysis → Customer Technical Support → Main Project Proposal.
Learn the Technology. Prove the Performance. Build the Market.
.
Before shipment of the DEMO unit, key technical personnel from the Sole Agent are invited to Korea for approximately 5–7 days of theoretical and practical ELODE training.
Training Contents
Upon completion of the training, participants will undergo an evaluation and receive a Certificate of Completion.
Engineers who meet BLUEWIN’s qualification criteria may be designated as Senior Engineers, enabling them to conduct local DEMO operations and provide basic technical support in their respective markets.
Once the DEMO unit has been installed in the local market, a BLUEWIN Master Engineer will visit the site and conduct practical field training together with the qualified Senior Engineer using the customer’s actual sludge.
Training Contents
Through the second-stage training, the Senior Engineer gains practical experience in establishing optimal operating conditions based on local sludge characteristics and learns how to independently manage customer DEMO operations in the field.
Our partnership continues beyond technical support, extending to joint market development.
BLUEWIN maintains close and continuous cooperation with its Sole Agents even after equipment delivery, working together in technical training, project engineering, product updates, and market development.
To ensure the stable and successful implementation of local projects, BLUEWIN continuously shares the latest technical information and operational know-how and provides project-specific design reviews and technical support whenever required.
