Businesses dealing with excess mud, paint, or metal finishing sludge at the jobsite need an effective solution to remove or transport it. The easiest way to control and move the material is with a high-quality mud drying unit.
ESD Waste2Water designed and manufactured a sludge drying system that produces a considerably dry product that’s easy to dispose of safely at a reasonable cost, use as compost or reprocess for beneficial uses. The sludge drying unit can also safely remove hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Other methods of transporting mud are time-consuming, costly and largely less effective than drying.
ESD Waste2Water’s sludge dryer can pay for itself over time relative to the cost of using other methods of transportation or removal. Sludge drying is an environmentally responsible and efficient way of dealing with excess mud and sludge issues on the job.
How Does Sludge Drying Work and Why Is It Important?
Sludge drying removes water from sludge to create a lightweight cake. Businesses can use our industrial sludge drying equipment alongside the ESD Waste2Water wash rack. The dryer features a vacuum pump that pulls liquid and air from the sludge.
Drying lowers the water content of sludge, leaving a light end product that is easy to haul and store. Agricultural businesses can also use it as compost. Additional benefits of this process include:
- Stabilizing sludge: Drying stabilizes sludge, eliminating odors and pathogenic organisms and reducing its susceptibility to decay.
- Simplifying treatment: Extracting moisture from sludge renders it more suitable for thermochemical treatments, such as torrefaction, pyrolysis and incineration.
- Easing disposal: Dry sludge can exist as pellets when dehydrated to over 65% dry solids or powder at over 90% dry solids.

Advantages of the RDV Sludge Drying System
ESD Waste2Water’s RDV is high-quality sludge drying equipment with the following benefits:
- Continuous and automatic operation: The equipment’s consistent rotation allows for the efficient and continuous separation of liquid and solids. The dryer also operates automatically, allowing employees to focus on other tasks.
- Low cost of operation: The vacuum provides a low-pressure environment and low-temperature drying, minimizing heat consumption. The drum, filter medium, drive system and other components are built using high-quality materials to ensure reliable performance.
- By-product water reintroduced to closed loop system: As the sludge dryer operates, it feeds extracted water to the wash rack’s closed loop system to conserve water and enable compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations.
