How We Can Help

Sewage sludge treatment is consuming a growing share of wastewater treatment facilities’ operating budgets as biosolids volumes grow and hauling and disposal costs increase.

Solar sludge drying greenhouses offer another option for sewage sludge treatment. By creating controlled-environment conditions that accelerate water evaporation, they can further reduce sludge moisture, volume, and weight before the material leaves the facility.

This makes the material easier to handle downstream and lowers sludge hauling and disposal costs.

Capacity, climate, airflow, ventilation, material handling, and other operating requirements all influence how efficiently the greenhouse performs. You must engineer it as part of the overall sewage sludge treatment system to maximize its drying performance.

When properly designed and engineered, greenhouse-supported sewage sludge processing can provide a low-energy approach to wastewater solids management while helping your wastewater treatment facility reduce operating costs and greenhouse-gas emissions.

Creating the right greenhouse environment to accelerate sludge drying is critical. That’s where we come in.
