“Hauling water, not solids? Watery sludge drives disposal costs and downtime. Filter presses turn it into dry, stackable cake so you ship less and save more.”
“Packaged plants deliver a compact, self-contained system (make-down + small filter press + mud condenser) that’s largely automated and supports closed-loop reuse.”
“When fine, charged particles refuse to settle, coagulants neutralize the charge so solids bind and dewater—restoring clarification and press performance.”
“Unstable dewatering and muddy filtrate drive downtime and maintenance—high-quality flocculants form strong, fast-settling flocs that stabilize separation and cut operating costs.“
ChemREADY provides comprehensive dewatering services for industrial, commercial, and municipal facilities across Greater Toledo and Northwest Ohio. From polymer selection and make-down to filter press and belt press optimization, we help manufacturers, healthcare facilities, schools, and municipalities raise cake dryness, cut hauling costs, and keep filtrate within spec. With a local office in Twinsburg, OH, our technicians deliver on-site testing, service, and support across Toledo, Sylvania, Maumee, Perrysburg, Oregon, Rossford, and surrounding communities—keeping you efficient from thickening to final disposal.
Our ChemREADY services include:
We serve the following industries:
We design dewatering programs tailored to your thickening, conditioning, and press operations—not cookie-cutter chemistry. Our ultra-concentrated, no-touch chemical delivery reduces handling risk, saves floor space, and cuts packaging waste while meeting safety and environmental requirements. By controlling total suspended solids and filtrate clarity—and by optimizing coagulant, flocculant, and polymer dosing, feed points, and press settings—we increase cake percent dry solids, reduce sludge volume and hauling costs, shorten cycle times, minimize washdowns, and extend media and equipment life.
Sludge Assessment
Characterize solids (percent solids, particle size, grease, fibers) and current capture/filtrate quality.
Bench Testing
Screen polymers/coagulants; set dilution, aging time, and target dose; observe floc strength and drainage.
Feed & Mixing Design
Place injection points, set shear/mix energy, and choose make-down/aging equipment for consistent activation.
Equipment Tuning
Adjust belt/centrifuge/press parameters (fill rate, pressure/torque limits, dwell/air blow) to reach target dryness and cycle time.
Media Care
Specify cloth/belt type, cleaning regimen, and occasional reconditioning to prevent blinding and extend life.
Automation & Monitoring
Track capture %, cake % dry solids, filtrate clarity; alarms prompt dose or setting changes when loads swing.
Service & Training
Local techs calibrate systems, verify results with simple tests, and train operators with repeatable SOPs.
Reporting & Improvement
KPI dashboards and service reports document savings; we iterate the program as sludge and seasons change.
