Many companies struggle with liquid waste disposal because it takes up too much of their operating budgets. However, with the right kind of dewatering equipment, your company can drastically cut disposal costs, and it might not be as expensive or difficult as you think. Here are some things to know about the dewatering process, to help you get started.
Why Remove the Water from Waste Materials?
Your waste disposal service may charge you by the gallon or weight of your materials. When you remove the moisture, you only have solids left, and the best water removal systems are very efficient. In fact, once the water is removed it is safely drained into a sewer system. The solids can be taken to a local landfill because the best dewatering equipment gives you solid materials that can pass a paint filter test.
How Does the Water Removal Process Work?
The easiest way to take advantage of water removal systems is to contact a company selling waste disposal systems. They offer complete systems for your business and are there to answer any questions you have about the process. This is one of the most effective ways to process sludge and grease trap waste.
Most systems work with a polymer mixing and dosing unit and a water removal unit. By mixing specially made polymers with the waste, the process of water removal is simplified. The waste material comes from a truck or holding tank, and is pumped into a mixing unit. The mixing unit adds the right amount of polymers to the waste and pumps it to the dewatering box. The box has special filtration systems that allow the water to drain and filter out of the box. Drains from the box are easily attached to your sewer drain system. The dewatering equipment gives you solid waste that is ready for the landfill.
