Abstract: 

Manufacturing of our consumer goods is based on specific and in many cases by patent protected know how. During the production route often side steams with by-products and/or waste streams appear as suspended solids in water. Depending on their physical properties the solids could be removed mechanically and dehydrated to desired moisture.
