Sludge dewatering is a safer disposal process for grease trap cleaning. It involves bonding solid particles in grease trap waste with stabilizing materials while removing water. This process results in a solid waste product that's easier to remove. We collect liquid sludge from grease traps, add a lime stabilizer to increase pH, then mix it with a polymer in watering boxes. The polymer binds to solids and contaminants, allowing water to be drained, leaving a dried waste product that's safer and easier to dispose of.

Dewatering is important for several reasons: it reduces disposal costs by minimizing volume, improves handling for landfilling, incineration, or land application, and prepares sludge for further treatment or reuse. For professional sludge dewatering and grease trap cleaning services, please contact our team.

The fate of dewatered sludge depends on its quality and treatment. It can be landfilled as solid waste, composted with organic materials, incinerated for energy recovery, or applied to land as biosolids if it meets safety standards.
