Sludge is a thick, semi-solid material that, over time, accumulates at the bottom of wastewater treatment assets like settlement lagoons and reed beds. Regular desludging helps to maintain the capacity and functionality of these assets.
Managing and controlling sludge build-up is an essential task that, if neglected, can reduce the effectiveness of the wastewater treatment processes.
Over the years, we’ve developed innovative and sustainable ways to approach and deliver large-scale desludging projects for organisations nationwide. Over the last three years, we’ve removed hundreds of thousands of tonnes of sludge from over 89 settlement lagoons.
Depending on its composition, your sludge can be processed and reused to create fertiliser, construction materials, and renewable energy: we encourage and help facilitate this. In addition, our on-site sludge dewatering methods also help remove and dispose of your sludge in the most sustainable way.
Desludging activities maintain the functionality, efficiency, and environmental sustainability of wastewater treatment processes.
You must de-sludge your wastewater assets to:
- Improve performance
- Maintain capacity
- Prevent corrosion
- Reduce costs
- Stop odours
- Limit pest infestations
- Comply with regulations
- Recycle materials or recover energy
