In many different types of manufacturing and processing facilities, liquid waste, which contains both water and organic material, is a natural byproduct. Companies have the option to capture this waste material in large containers and have it hauled away to liquid disposal sites, or they can save costs and potentially make money through a process known as biosolids dewatering.
As the name implies, biosolids dewatering involves removal of the water from the biosolid material. This leaves much lower volume and weight of the solid material to be disposed of, helping to reduce costs.
Additionally, with many types of processes, the biosolids can be sold as composting material to a variety of buyers, including those in the agricultural industry. It may also be possible for a company to process the waste material of other businesses, which could be completed for a cost plus the advantage of additional composite material for sale.
Size of System
For a business to consider this process, it will be essential to know the size of system required for the dewatering process. Some of the systems can provide processing rates of up to 450 gallons per minute with the capacity increased if systems are combined.
Location
Positioning of the biosolids dewatering system on the property will be another important factor. The liquid produced from the process will be able to be removed from the property through the sewer system with a quality dewatering system.
If other businesses are bringing waste liquids for dewatering the access to the unit, location in relation to buildings and other factors will need to be considered.
Additionally, there may be local regulations and requirements for having the mobile or stationary units on the property. Take the time to ensure all local regulations and requirements are met before locating the system on the grounds.
