Elode USA Sludge dewatering machine using Electro-Osmosis . ELODE is based upon a recent technology that allows for highly efficient dehydration by pulling water away from sludge cake using mechanisms of electrophoresis and electro-osmosis . ELODE further reduces water from sludge cake that has been dehydrated by other mechanical dewatering machines such as screw, filter, centrifuge type of presses. ELODE takes the sludge cake in between the anode drum and the cathode track . Voltage is then applied between the two electrodes, which powerfully pulls moisture away from sludge toward the cathode. Thereby dehydrating efficiently to a moisture level far below mechanical dewatering . Destruction of cell membranes causes water held in surface tension by the membrane to release the water . Heating water or boiling water away requires a great amount of energy and time. ELODE is truly efficient since it pulls the water molecules by electrical polarity and fluid capillary effect instead of boiling water away . Boiling or evaporating water requires huge amount of energy and it also creates huge volume of odor . alexm@elodeusa .com, www .elodeusa .com .booth Booth 143

Seeking N.G. Kaul Scholarship Applications. Do You Know Someone Eligible to Apply?
N.G. Kaul was a highly respected engineer, an immigrant from India who fulfilled the American dream of opportunity realized. He had a distinguished career in public service, first with New York City and then with the New York State DEC, rising to the position of Director of the Division of Water in 1992. That service was capped, upon his retirement in 2002, by his appointment as Director of the USEPA effort to implement the dredging of PCB-polluted sedi- ments in the Hudson River. He died in February of 2004.
The N.G. Kaul Memorial Scholarship Fund will be offering up to $5,000 in scholarships to students pursuing graduate or doctoral degrees in environmental/civil engineering or environmental science concentrating on water quality who show a commitment to government service.
Scholarship application is available on the NYWEA website (www.nywea.org). The deadline for application is February 28, 2019.
