Treatment facility meets EPA regulations with new sludge handling process

An American manufacturer of sludge handling products, Process Wastewater Technologies LLC (PWTech), has announced a successful project along the Connecticut River, where Montague Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) has been meeting EPA permit regulations for total suspended solids (TSS) within a month after installation of their Volute Dewatering Press.

The optimized screw press, known for its dewatering drum that achieves both thickening and pressing in a single compact solution, has reduced solids backup loadings from 60,000 pounds to 9,000 pounds, restoring healthy flow back into local waterways and helping protect the well-being of the public and environment.
