SmartFeed™ Sludge Dewatering Systems

Successful dewatering begins with accurate data. SmartFeed™ eliminates guessworkby using real-time monitoring and algorithmic dosing control to deliver the right polymer blend at the right rate throughout your project.

By adjusting automatically for variations in flow rat, solids concentration, of pH, the system helps ensure optimal dewatering performance, even as site conditions shift.

• Real-time monitor and control
• Automated polymer dosing
• Consistent dewatering quality
• Reduced labor intervention and chemical waste

Samples of your project’s slurry are tested to ensure the SmartFeed® sludge dewatering system calculates peak performance parameters that serve your project.

The Rapid Dewatering Test (RDT), made with a small sample of your slurry, determines which polymers and dose rate will best serve your project’s needs. The Pressure-Geotube® Dewatering Test (P-GDT) uses a larger sample of your slurry to confirm polymer dose rates and project the mass-balance the SmartFeed™ system will maintain.

These lab results establish baseline operational parameters, ensuring r the SmartFeed™ sludge dewatering system is dialed in for maximum efficiency from day one.

As project conditions change, SmartFeed™ adapts automatically. It continuously monitors critical slurry variables, such as flow rate, density, percent fry solids, pH, polymer shear, and coarse grain size percentage, and adjusts chemical dosing in real time.

This smart automation prevents performance dips caused by fluctuating field conditions and delivers:

• Consistent Geotube® filling performance
• Improved filtrate clarity and water quality
• More predictable dewatering timelines
• Less chemical waste and operator oversight

The SmartFeed™ sludge dewatering system also generates processing  for each Geotube® container, providing full visibility and traceability for QA/QC documentation.

The SmartFeed™ sludge dewatering  system can be applied to virtually any polymer-assisted dewatering project, including:

• Dredged sediment and silt removal
• Mining and energy sector operations
• Power plant and industrial process lagoons and ponds
• Nuclear power plant cooling bays and environmental remediation projects
• Wastewater and stormwater lagoons

It’s scalability makes it ideal for both small and large operations that require precise chemical control and reliable results. If you have a complex dredging or diving operation that needs polymer and total quality management reporting, you need the SmartFeed™ sludge dewatering system.
