The new dewatering system from In the Round Dewatering can help septic service contractors improve profitability by reducing sludge disposal costs.
The system uses plastic filter tiles inside a rotating, stainless steel dewatering drum to remove up to 50 percent of wastewater from sludge. The transportable drum – which measures 20 feet long and 90 inches in diameter and weighs 11,500 pounds empty – is mounted on a steel, powder-coated, roll-off frame equipped with integrated tie-down straps, says James Penner, owner and president of In the Round Dewatering.
“It’s not unusual for the unit to remove 2,500 gallons of liquid overnight,” Penner
