A compact unit with obvious advantages...The first KSA mobile sludge dewatering unit was build in 1978 by Simon Moos Maskinfabrik A/S.

With more than 30 years of experience producing the KSA system along with the input received from our customers around the world we are able to offer the KSA in different variants depending on the customer’s bespoke needs.

The KSA Compact is mounted on a 2 axle chassis and is the smallest edition to the KSA series. This unit as the name suggests has been designed with a compact profile that makes it possible to operate and gain access to geographically restrictive areas in both rural and urban situations. “KSA”, translated into English means combined sludge tanker and on-site dewatering unit and as the name implies it does exactly that!

The principle behind the MOOS KSA system is “volume reduction”. Simon Moos realising that an average tanker load of sludge contained a high percentage of water which was needlessly being transported to the waste water treatment plant, Simon then decided to develop a system that would take the waste water treatment plant to treat the sludge onsite and the KSA was born.

With the KsA Compact system you obtain the following advantages:

A compact unit with obvious advantages! A compact unit ideal for limited access situations! Has a large dewatering capacity for its size!

Produces an average impressive volume reduction of up to 90%! Transportation time, running and labour costs are greatly reduced!

Able to be self-sufficient with jetting water! Incorporates a radio remote control of all necessary functions allowing for a one man operation! Training can take place in the customer’s own surroundings!

Delivers rapid and effective dewatering of sludge’s! A reliable tried and tested system! 30+ years of development experience! A very easy system to operate!

The goals and key features in the development of the KSA Compact were to produce, on the one hand a small versatile mobile unit to dewater sludge’s and on the other to deliver a unit with a high volume capacity. These goals have been reached by balancing the customer’s needs with the practical design and engineering that has gone into producing the KSA Compact. This has resulted in a unit that is ideal when facing dewatering projects with limited access found both in rural and urban situations.

The KSA Compact effectiveness is based upon our experience over the last 30 years developing mobile units for the dewatering of sludge’s. Our objectives have always been to increase stability, efficiency and increase the functions of the KSA system to make it more versatile, this has been achieved by the unique cooperation we share between our designers, engineers and of course our customers.

The KSA Compact can be operated either manually from a control panel or by the radio remote control.

All the manual controls, indicators, sample points etc. are located on the right hand side of the unit.

The sludge is taken up into the vacuum tank exactly as you would with a traditional jet-vac or tanker.

While the sludge is being pumped to the dewatering chamber the operator can return the cleansed water already collected back to source, this keeps the process time to a minimum!

When the vacuum tank has been filled, the sludge is then pumped into the de-watering chamber. During this process a polymer is introduced to the sludge which causes “flocculation”, separa-tion of the solids from the water. The dewatering then occurs through the specially constructed filter screens. The flocculated dry matter is effectively held back by these filter screens, allowing the permeate to drain by gravity into a collection chamber below which is then reused in the jetting system or used to reprime the emptied vessel.

Once full the KSA is discharged by means of a hydraulically operated door on the dewatering chamber.

Extensive possibilities...The KSA Compact has been specifically designed for gaining access to and operating in restrictive areas found both in urban and rural situations where traditional systems have difficulty. Dewatering with the KSA unit has its advantages over traditional systems where sludge’s with a relatively high water content are found and where there is a need to refill or reprime the emptied tanks, e.g. septic tanks, garage Forecourt, interceptors etc. The fact that the sludge volume has been reduced by up to 90%, reducing disposal and running costs has attracted new customers from e.g. the French Alps to large European cities who are using the KSA Compact to service their daily contracts. The KSA system was originally developed over 30 years ago and mounted on either a 3 or 4 axle standard chassis for the emptying of septic tanks within Denmark.

...for recycling of dewatered sludgeThere are several routes for recycling and disposing of the dewatered cake from the KSA system. Depending on the specific nature of the dewatered cake it can either be lime stabilized and used as fertilizer on agricultural land, composted or used in biogas plants. Difficult cakes can be used to accelerate the burning process at incineration plants or as a last resort be deposited at a landfill site. In addition to the fact that we construct effective sludge dewatering systems, it is also one of our strengths at Simon Moos Manufacturing that we are able, through the contracting division of the company, to offer advice and technical support in the handling of sludge’s from the knowledge and experience we’ve gained over many years.

Biogas Dewatered sludge’s, especially from grease traps are very suitable for biogas units.

WWTP/waste disposal site The dewatered sludge can be delivered to the wastewater treatment plant or other reception points.

Combined power and heating stationsThe energy contents in dewatered sludge can be used in public combined power and heating stations together with the incineration of other waste products.

Composting / lime stabilization With a Moos lime/sludge mixing plant dewatered sludge is mixed with lime. The pH level is raised to 14 and you obtain the optimum temperature of approximately 80° C this gives an ef-fective sanitation and delivers a log6 reduction in pathogens.

Agriculture Dewatered sludge with/without com-posting is an attractive organic fertilizer, which lessens the need to use expensive chemical alternatives.

Forestry If sludge is treated in a drying plant you are able to produce pellets that are suitable for spreading as fertilizer in forestry etc.

...and reuse of the cleansed water!During the dewatering process the flocculated sludge captures any harm-ful particles and holds them within the dewatered cake. This means that the cleansed water is of a high quality and can be used for jetting and to re-prime septic tanks, interceptors and car washes etc. The KSA is unique in its performance as shown in the reduction table opposite.

the history of our company...

Simon Moos Manufacturing A/S was established in 1978 by the current directors Simon Moos and Hanne Aamand. The company is based near the town of Sonderborg on the Island of Als which lies just off the southeast coast of mainland Denmark. The knowledge gained over the years from the contracting division of Simon Moos has allowed our company to design, develop and produce equipment for the wet wasteindustry in particular their own series of jet-vacs and not to mention the well known mobile and stationary units for the effective dewatering and treatment of sludge’s. We are an international company with over 60 employees and have an export share of 75% spread over four continents to more than 30 countries.

...is a guaranteed investment for the future!

”The increasing environmental impact must be disconnected from the economic growth.”A European environmental protection agency quotation. Eventually this sentence will become a standard remark in ,any global or na-tional environmental strategy. The current situation with global warming, the rising amounts of waste being produced and the growing need to reduce it along with other sources of pollu-tion has resulted globally in various political initiatives, the purpose of which is to change the attitude of waste com- panies and industry in obtaining a greater environmental aware-ness. In financial terms companies will notice increasing costs for the disposal of waste water. The permitted limits for contaminants in waste water will become lower and lower. Fuel, road tax and disposal along with clean water supplies etc. will eventually become subjected to higher environmental duties. If companies are unwilling to adapt to changes in environmental legislation they will probable notice a marked reduction in profits. Using the KSA system in certain circumstances could reduce or even waiver the current landfill duty within the United Kingdom. The Simon Moos KSA system fits the global environmental strategy because it reduces waste volumes by up to 90% and the dry filter cake produced can be safely desposed of at a licensed landfill site or recycled and used as fertilizer after a controlled sanitation process to name but a couple of routes.

...with a global presence in 30 countries!

The KSA has been sold to more than 30 countries spanning 4 continents. It has been a great challenge to our production department to design a totally reli-able unit that is able to function both in extremely cold climates experienced by countries like Scandinavia, Canada, Iceland and North America, to very hot climates as found in places like Tahiti! We believe that the successful expan-sion of the Simon Moos brand is attributed to a highly motivated work force who constantly strive for perfection. We did not capture a new geographic market from a concept but from a first class product. We as a company have an open approach to our customers and the market place; this is a part of the Danish culture. This fruitful approach to our way of doing business has resulted in continuous product development where we have combined the best ideas from our engineers and designers with input from our customers worldwide.
