The Dewatering Truck from ABCO Industries Limited is a self-contained solution for the dewatering of private, municipal and industrial sludge. It conditions incoming sludge with a polymer, and the onboard filter system separates the solids and liquids. The solids are stored in a holding chamber on the truck, while liquid filtrate and useful bacteria are returned for normal on-site treatment. Solids on the truck can be disposed of at an approved composting or land-applied area, eliminating the need for further processing at a lagoon. Operating costs are reduced due to minimal transport of water, meaning fewer trips to the off-load site, reducing fuel costs, mileage, truck wear and tear, and disposal fees. It can be outfitted with a high-pressure jetting system for clean-out applications, and can be used as a conventional vacuum truck if required. 902/634-8821; www.abco.ca.
