Sodimate's MBV lime & biosolids mixer features orientable paddle blades that efficiently mix lime and dewatered sludge originating from dehydration systems. The mixer can be combined with sludge conveyors, sludge pumps and lime feed systems for an effective sludge stabilization process. The unit's robust stainless steel construction makes it versatile for many harsh municipal and industrial applications and can be trailer-mounted for remote treatment areas.

Markland's handheld detector, The Sludge Gun, measures silt or sludge interface levels in clarifiers, tanks and lagoons and helps provide valuable biosolids level profiles. It allows users to eliminate unnecessary dredging/pumping and monitor sludge bed depth for regulatory compliance and prevention of carryover. The Sludge Gun uses high-intensity, infrared light to locate both the sludge blanket and overlying cloudy layer in concentrations ranging from light flocs to thick blankets. It is compact and weatherproof.

NETZSCH's M-Ovas grinding systems is used where solid matter is broken down to prevent pipe clogging and damage to downstream equipment. Its housing carries wastewater solids to the cutting plate, where they are held and chopped by rotating blades. This low-maintenance assembly is designed for sludges with a maximum flow of 300 m3/hour and a dry matter content of up to 7%. Advantages include an optimal price/performance ratio; ease of operation and simple maintenance; high operating safety; and low operating costs.

The Onyx Isolator Ring provides a simple method to measure the pressure of slurries, raw sewerage, sludge, lime slurry, and other noxious and corrosive fluids. The PSW series is compatible with flanged pipe connections. Nesting inside the bolt circle of mating flanges provides accurate alignment and minimum weight at the lowest installed cost. The inside diameter of the PSW precisely matches standard pipe for smooth, unobstructed flow, self-cleaning operation and minimum turbulence and friction.

World Water Works has announced the addition of the Ideal S-Select, a new sludge conditioning technology that solves floating or bulking sludge in conventional activated sludge (CAS) wastewater treatment systems. The patent-pending system is a biological selection process that classifies for denser, faster-settling bacteria to return to the CAS process, while wasting the undesirable, hard-to-settle bacteria. The new process improves clarifier performance and consistency of treatment and potentially increases capacity of existing activated sludge processes.

Probiotic's Bio Energizer is a specialized Micro Carbon Complex to reduce sludge, odor, BOD/COD, FOG, and costs in wastewater treatment plants and lagoons. The product biochemically oxidizes sludge while remaining online, further reducing the lagoon sludge blanket without the need for draining, drying, dredging, handling, or hauling. When used in activated sludge plants, it can increase volatile solids destruction and improve decant volume and settleability for greater digester and reactor capacity, giving operators more capacity to waste solids.

The Dimminutor from Franklin Miller provides effective, automatic screening and grinding of wastewater solids in straight-through channels and wet wells. The unit reduces plastics, wood, rags, and other solids to fine bits, enhancing plant operation and improving the reliability of pumps and other downstream equipment. As its three bidirectional rotary cutters intermesh at close clearance with stationary cutters, solids are finely reduced to a size small enough to pass through a sizing screen.
