Applications

No matter the scope of your project, we support every phase of the dredging process with proven equipment and deep operational expertise. Our approach reduces disposal volumes, maximizes water recovery, and minimizes environmental impact, all while improving efficiency and cutting unnecessary costs.

  • Separating solids from contaminated water at industrial cleanup sites
  • Dewatering municipal or industrial sludge to reduce disposal volume
  • Treating leachate water at landfills or remediation zones
  • Extracting suspended solids or fine particles from slurry created during soil washing
  • Concentrating contaminated solids for safer handling, stabilization, or disposal
  • Reducing fluid content in excavated materials to make them easier and cheaper to transport
  • Treating groundwater pumped during remediation to remove sediments, hydrocarbons, or metal-laden particulates
  • Preparing waste streams for downstream filtration or chemical treatment processes

Environmental Reclamation and Separating Solutions FAQs

What is a dewatering centrifuge and how does it work?

A dewatering centrifuge uses high speeds and centrifugal G-force to separate solids from liquids. Contaminated slurry or sludge is fed into the machine, where heavier solids move outward and water or clarified liquid is discharged separately.

They rapidly reduce the moisture content of contaminated materials, making them easier and cheaper to transport, dispose of, or further process. This supports cleanup tasks such as soil remediation, wastewater treatment, dredging, and industrial site restoration.

Dewatering centrifuges can process:

  • Soil slurry from soil washing
  • Industrial and municipal sludge
  • Dredged sediments
  • Oily water mixtures
  • Groundwater with suspended solids
  • Tailings from mining operations
  • Drill muds and construction slurries

A centrifuge can concentrate solids containing PFAS, heavy metals, and other contaminants, but additional treatment is often required. Centrifuges are typically used as a pre-treatment step to reduce volume and improve downstream filtration or chemical treatment efficiency.

By removing water from sludge or sediment, the centrifuge reduces total waste volume. This lowers disposal fees, transportation costs, and the need for large storage or containment facilities. Recovered water can sometimes be reused or sent for lower-cost treatment.

Yes. Most industrial centrifuges are designed for continuous operation, making them ideal for large remediation projects like dredging, pump-and-treat systems, and mine tailings processing.

Decanter centrifuges rely on high rotational speed to separate solids, while other systems—like filter presses or geotextile bags—use pressure or passive filtration. Centrifuges generally offer faster throughput, better control, and smaller footprints.

Routine tasks include checking and greasing bearings, inspecting wear parts (scroll, flights, discharge ports), and monitoring vibration. Proper maintenance ensures long service life and consistent dewatering performance.

Yes, but equipment may require wear-resistant components such as hardened alloys, tungsten carbide tiles, or abrasion-resistant coatings. Thick or abrasive slurries from mining or dredging may need pre-screening.

Absolutely. By reducing waste mass and improving water recovery, centrifuges help minimize landfill usage, reduce transport emissions, and improve the efficiency of environmental cleanup processes.

We maintain a ready-to-deploy inventory with shipping in as fast as 48 hours. Our systems are designed for minimal maintenance, featuring robust construction and high-quality components. We provide 24/7 field service, preventive maintenance programs, and immediate parts replacement for uninterrupted operation.

Yes. Our centrifuge systems excel at processing varying sediment types, from fine harbor silts to coarse construction spoil. The equipment handles fluctuating solids concentrations, particle sizes, and slurry consistencies without requiring reconfiguration or downtime.
