Our Range of Custom Sludge Dewatering Systems
Sludge dewatering is the process of removing water from sludge, a semi-solid residue generated during wastewater treatment, industrial processes, or other activities involving the production of liquid waste. Sludge typically contains a mixture of water, solids, organic matter, and other impurities, making it bulky and difficult to handle and dispose of. Dewatering is essential to reduce the volume of sludge, making it easier and more cost-effective to transport, dispose of, or further treat.
ABCO Water utilises a range of sludge dewatering technologies in the design and manufacture of their water and wastewater treatment plants. Equipment and pre and post treatment is selected based on both raw water quality and treated water quality requirements.
