Dewatering & Filter Press Services:Economic & Environmental Sense Dewatering with the modern day Filter Press is the process of removing the solids from any sludge by pressing out the water the outcome of which is a dry filter cake. The filtrate (liquid) can then either be re-used on-site or disposed of to drain. This will significantly reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of dramatically reducing disposal costs from both haulage and landfill.A normal dewatering example would be a customer who has 100 ton of liquid waste to dispose of, off site, of which only 10% may be solid material with the remaining 90% filtrate. With the use of mobile dewatering equipment 90ton of filtrate can be recycled back to plant, rather than transporting 100 tons of liquid off site. The alternative to dewatering is where liquid waste is disposed of in liquid form by mobile tankers for disposal either to a treatment centre or suitable landfill site. Dewatering clearly offers a more environmentally sensitive with the bonus of being cost effective.

The process of dewatering begins when an expert from Mantank will visit the client site to carry out a site survey. A sample of the liquid waste will be taken and tested to ensure the waste can be filtered and determine the correct disposal method. It will also determine the quality of the filtrate and dryness of solid filter cake.
