Screening for Suitable Sludge

You can obtain an overview of the suitability of the sludge your organisation may have for this long-term cost effective and environmentally friendly solution for disposal of sludge.

ARM Ltd. will work with you to produce an overview of sites in your organisation that would be feasible for Sludge Treatment in Reed Beds. Let it be a supportive element in determining your future sludge disposal strategies.

An important parameter of suitability is the sludge type and quality. Surplus Activated Sludge is the most applicable type, but many existing systems are also drying and treating digested sludge and other types. Let us help you gain an overview by comparing your data against our database which has sludge and operation information from more than 120 systems in Scandinavia and Germany.

Another important issue is land availability. Some sites may not have the land needed for Sludge Treatment Reed Bed systems, and land may be very expensive or unavailable for other reasons. In Denmark one of the solutions for this situation has been to build the reed beds some 5 miles away and pump it there.

With the high level investigation of sludge types and the information of land availability, we will quantify the volumes of sludge suitable for treatment in Sludge Treatment Reed Beds. These figures will then be seen against the Net Present Value of different types of sludge dewatering equipment. See price graph. It will give you a valuable overview of possible cost reductions obtainable by introducing Sludge Treatment in Reed Beds for the given sites.

The information will be produced in an easy accessible reporting format, which will give you an excellent overview of this potential element in your sludge strategies.
