On-site sludge dewatering to reduce waste volumes, costs and emissions

Efficient Waste Reduction

Waste reduction is a critical element of the waste hierarchy. Ambipar provides mobile dewatering units that process liquid waste streams directly on-site, reducing disposal volumes by up to 80%. This delivers significant cost savings while supporting environmental and sustainability targets.

Tailored Dewatering Solutions

We offer a range of mobile dewatering equipment to suit different applications:

  • Centrifuge Units – ideal for high volumes (100 tonnes and above)

  • Belt Press Units – suitable for continuous large-scale operations

  • Mobile SDT Units – highly effective for smaller facilities such as wastewater treatment plants, grease traps and similar systems

How the SDT Unit Works

The SDT Unit is self-loading via vacuum and incorporates a primary filter system capable of handling debris, plastics and other solids. It then doses polymer to bind sludge particles, allowing water and solids to separate.

  • The filtrate (separated water), rich in organic nutrients, can be returned to the treatment unit, aiding system restart.

  • The filter cake is transported to approved outlets such as composting facilities for sustainable disposal.
