Service Overview
The sludge collects inside water tanks and requires regular cleaning for proper function. When sludge is not cleaned, it can fill up water tanks, rendering a wastewater treatment facility useless for processing new waste. Sludge is an inescapable byproduct of cleaning the water that everyone in a community uses. Wastewater needs cleaning before reintroduction to the environment. Otherwise, municipalities would run out of water, one of the environment's most precious resources. Furthermore, if the sludge is not repurposed, it ends up in a landfill.
However, there is a way to repurpose the sludge for other uses. Wastewater Transport Services uses belt presses to remove the valuable nutrients from the sludge.
REPURPOSING SLUDGE
The process used by Wastewater Transport Services to repurpose sludge starts with the prescreening of wastewater. This part removes any large debris, such as rags or trash. Next, the water rolls through a belt press that uses two belts at extreme pressure.
