Sludge Treatment and Waste Disposal Services that are Aligned for Maximum Resource Recovery

The chemical composition of sludge is determined by the properties of the wastewater from which it is produced. The sludge volume and transportation costs are determined by the water content. Sludge solids and water content will vary depending on the type of sludge, such as primary or chemical sludge, the method of sludge thickening, and the type and quality of treatment. The cost of sludge treatment is determined by the characteristics of the wastewater.

Although sludge accounts for only 1% to 2% of treated wastewater volume, sludge treatment can be extremely complex, costing up to 50% of the total operating costs of the wastewater treatment plant. Aside from economic treatment, the final destination of sludge is critical, as it is frequently performed outside the boundaries of a treatment plant. Sludge treatment can be an expensive activity, and if not managed properly, it can jeopardize the environmental and sanitary benefits that are expected.

Solo Resource Recovery, a specialised waste management company, utilises cutting-edge sludge treatment techniques to provide you with the most efficient waste disposal services possible. Instead of the super suckers and buckets commonly used by waste disposal companies, Solo Resource Recovery uses the most advanced biotic technologies, centrifuges, and dozers to remove sludge from a business or industrial facility in an environmentally sustainable manner. Solo prioritises sustainability and recovery in all of its waste disposal services, which is why it employs cutting-edge sludge treatment equipment and methods, such as hydro dozer robotic application.

Use of innovative equipment for sludge treatment

Solo Resource Recovery's sludge treatment methods are ideal for removing slurry and sludge from a tank or pond. Another piece of sludge treatment equipment used by the company's waste disposal services is the Pelican dredge. The self-propelled cutter suction dredge is portable and capable of pumping sludge over long distances (up to 500 m) and in shallow waters. The company also uses cutting-edge centrifuge technology for sludge treatment, which is typically used to recover oil from crude oil tanks.

Deriving value from sludge treatment in the form of biosolids

Biosolids are major byproducts of the wastewater treatment process and can contain anywhere from 15% to 90% solids. These primarily consist of a mixture of water and organic material found in wastewater from kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries. Biosolids may contain macronutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous, as well as micronutrients like copper, zinc, and calcium. Furthermore, these may contain traces of synthetic organic compounds as well as metals such as arsenic, lead, and mercury. These contaminants limit the amount of biosolids that a sludge treatment facility can use. Solo's waste disposal services use innovative sludge treatment methods to extract biosolids from sludge, ensuring safe and sustainable biosolid management.

Some of the common uses of biosolids are:

  •          Land application in culture
  •          Energy recovery and power generation
  •          Land rehabilitation including landfill capping
  •          Composting
  •          Road base

Following treatment, biosolids are graded based on their chemical composition and the amount of pathogens present. Not all biosolids can be used for all applications; for example, lower grade biosolids are used as road base, whereas higher grade biosolids are used in composting and crop cultivation.

Using the latest waste disposal and treatment methods

Every type of human activity generates waste in some way. Households produce a wide range of waste, including garden waste, kitchen waste, and e-waste. Businesses and industries generate a variety of waste types that, depending on the nature of the business, may be hazardous. Sharps in the form of syringes, for example, and infectious material such as blood-soaked swabs and bandages could be found in the waste of a healthcare facility. Similarly, a pharmaceutical company can generate hazardous waste in the form of chemicals.

Waste disposal services for households, industries and businesses

Some people consider waste disposal to be simply putting the bins out every week, whereas others consider waste disposal to include the safe disposal of hazardous materials. Solo Resource Recovery offers a wide range of waste disposal services to businesses, municipalities, individuals, and industries. The company offers waste disposal services to businesses such as industrial bins, bulk bins, wheelie bins, document destruction services, and waste equipment services. The company's waste disposal service offers industrial bins with capacities ranging from 1.5 cubic metres to 1100 litres. The company's waste disposal service provides standard 240 litre capacity wheelie bins for various waste types, including garbage bins, glass only bins, medical waste bins, and recycling bins.

Solo Resource Recovery offers industrial waste disposal services such as vacuum excavation, subsurface engineering and maintenance, CCTV inspection, geotech & pavement investigation, drain and pipe cleaning, and more. Solo Resource Recovery also offers septic tank cleaning for homeowners and facility management services to municipalities. Waste disposal services are provided by the company throughout Australia, including Adelaide, Dandenong, Kingscliff, Mornington, Northern Rivers, and Pottsville.

Stop Air and Soil Pollution by Choosing Vacuum Excavation, and Effectively Manage Your Construction Waste

Image
  Have you ever thought about digging a hole for a project? However, digging it by hand would be hard and time-consuming. Using vacuum excavation to dig the same hole, on the other hand, makes combining high-pressure water and an air vacuum easier for you and your project. These excavators are used to remove unwanted material from surrounding subsurface infrastructure, such as mud, sludge, and slurry. The soil is vacuumed into a waste tank and placed there for later disposal or backfilling into the hole through a vacuum hose. Why is vacuum excavation important? Vacuum excavation produces significantly less dust than conventional methods, regardless of the material being excavated. Massive amounts of dust are thrown into the air when soil is moved around on open-top vehicles like dumpers, excavators, and lorries or conveyor belts.  Vacuum excavation  pulls all of the spoil and dust from the pit directly into the vacuum excavator, which is better for the environment and...
