A dewatering system can run every day and still not perform the way it should. Over time, cycle times get longer, chemical use increases, and small issues start to affect production and costs.

ChemREADY helps identify what is limiting performance and provides clear, practical solutions. Our optimization and consulting services focus on improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and helping your system operate more smoothly.
When Optimization Is Needed
Performance problems often develop slowly and can be easy to miss during daily operation. If your system is producing wetter cakes, using more chemicals than expected, or struggling to keep up with demand, optimization can help.
These issues are often caused by small process or chemistry problems that build over time. Addressing them early can improve performance and reduce long-term costs.
Optimization starts with understanding how your entire dewatering process works together. Equipment, chemistry, and operation all play a role.
ChemREADY reviews how material moves through your system, how long each step takes, and where delays or bottlenecks may be occurring. We look at filter presses, clarifiers or thickeners, pumps, and solids handling to understand what is limiting performance.
This full-process approach helps identify improvements that deliver real results.
Chemistry has a major impact on dewatering results. When the wrong chemical is used, or when dosing is not properly adjusted, systems can struggle to perform.
ChemREADY reviews your current chemical program and performs testing to understand how your material responds. We focus on improving performance while reducing waste and unnecessary cost.
Chemistry optimization may include:
Reviewing coagulant and flocculant selection
Jar testing and performance evaluation
Adjusting chemical dosage
Improving cake dryness and clarity
Getting chemistry right helps equipment perform more efficiently and consistently.
Many dewatering systems have hidden risks that only show up when something fails. A single pump or piece of equipment going down can stop the entire process.
ChemREADY evaluates your system to identify these risks and recommend ways to reduce them. This may include reviewing redundancy, backup equipment, and operating practices.
Risk evaluations help protect production, safety, and compliance by reducing the chance of unexpected shutdowns.
For systems with ongoing challenges or planned upgrades, testing before making major changes can be extremely valuable.
ChemREADY offers pilot testing and demo programs that allow you to see how process changes or equipment perform with your material before moving forward.
After reviewing your system, ChemREADY provides clear recommendations focused on what will make the biggest impact. We prioritize practical solutions that work with your existing equipment, operators, and maintenance practices.
When improvements are made, we help ensure they are supported long term and integrated into daily operation.
