Reducing the Costs of Dredging Sediment with Superabsorbent Polymers

Dredging of saturated sediments from waterways, wastewater lagoons, and stormwater ponds generates massive quantities of waste material that require costly and time-consuming management practices, such as dewatering, solidification, transportation, and off-site disposal.  

If solidification, transportation, and disposal of saturated sediments are a part of your scope of work, superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) can help to reduce your budget, time-on-site, and environmental risks.

Wastewater Treatment Sludge Becomes Dry & Stackable in Minutes with SAPs

Sludge, a viscous mixture of liquid and solid components, is generated by essentially all industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities. When sludge must be periodically removed in order for plant maintenance crews to conduct repairs on process equipment and concrete holding basins, superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are the safest, fastest, and most efficient choice to convert wet sludge to dry stackable solids.
