Mobile dewatering offers an efficient solution for wastewater treatment, backup for existing systems, and cleaning agricultural lagoons, typically handling less than 1 million gallons per day. The process involves setting up a dewatering box where effluent is filtered, allowing water to drain and solids to be collected for composting. This system is simple to set up, cost-effective, and relies on gravity for operation, making it an ideal choice for various applications.

4. Set-up

5. An empty dewatering roll-off box or trailer
is dropped at the site,

6. along with trailers with pumps and polymers,

7. and one or more
dewatering technicians.

8. The mobile system is connected to the ...

12. Effluent is pumped into the dewatering box.

13. A special liner allows water to permeate
naturally through the sides and bottom to
the dewatering box’s drainage system.

14. The filtered water drains
via gravity from the bottom
of the roll-off or trailer,

15. while capturing 99% of the solids.

16. The filtered water drains to a collection
system or back to the lagoon.

17. Transport

18. The dewatering box and its contents are
transported to a composting facility ...

separated solids are
blended with other
ingredients and
turned into
compost products
for use in...
