Sludge Treatment

Sludge refers to the accumulated shells of dead bacteria as well as other fecal materials left from the wastewater and sewage treatment procedures. It is also commonly used to describe semi-solids that cannot be broken down by the treatment plant.

Sludge can be problematic if you let it be. To heighten the process of eliminating sludge in a convenient and easy way is by the use of biodigestors. These units are designed to treat all sorts of wastes including toxic wastes in the water. We make sure that the effluent is sufficient to pass the standards

mandated by the government for discharge. It reduces sludge, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) as well as TSS, FOG nitrates, ammonia, phosphorus and other factors that contribute to the depreciation of the quality of water.

Golf ponds

There are golf ponds plagued by nasty sludge that build ups and causes foul odour. This is one of the concerns in golf course management, since it disfupts the golfing experiences of their clients, not to mention the aesthetics of the clubs.

Some of the issues that affect golf ponds are 4% of fertilizer applied to areas near lakes and ponds eventually run off into the nearby water which is known as “nutrient-loading” and can be really harmful. An average golf course can use between 10-15 tons of fertilizer per year, and a half-ton of this fertilizer may runoff into the nearby drainage system.

This damaging run-off and nutrient loading causes extreme havoc to the existing water quality as well as the surrounding ecosystem and aesthetic environment.

Some problems that arise when a body of water has been compromised are:

Rapid increases in sludge
Foul and strong odors
Increase in cyanobacteria and blue algae (which damage fish and plant life)
Pollution and chemical issues from fertilizer and pesticide run-off
