Containerised Sludge Dewatering
HySludge® – Reliable Sludge Dewatering or Thickening for Remote and Off-Grid Applications
Managing sludge from wastewater treatment plants in decentralised and remote areas presents significant operational and cost challenges, particularly due to limited disposal options and the high expense of transporting liquid sludge. HySludge® by Hydroflux Epco delivers a plug-and-play, containerised sludge dewatering or thickening system designed for reliable and efficient performance in even the most challenging locations.
Each HySludge unit is housed in a modified 20-foot high cube shipping container and is delivered to site wired, preassembled, and factory tested. Onsite installation works are minimal with most components already installed, including the dewatering or thickening unit, conveyors, pumps, pipework, controls and dosing system. Just connect power, air, and process lines, and the system is ready to operate. It is a true Packaged Sludge Dewatering solution built for fast deployment and simple integration.
Ideal for municipal and industrial applications, HySludge drastically reduces sludge volumes while simplifying operation and maintenance, making it the ideal choice for sites with limited infrastructure or operator access.
