SLUDGE
Sludge Waste Requires Specialist Handling
Sludge is often dense, hazardous, and difficult to remove without the right tools and training. It can build up in storage tanks, treatment systems, or separators, leading to:
Overflow and downtime in production or drainage systems
Foul odours, contamination, or cross-contamination of wastewater
Regulatory breaches and failed environmental audits
Unsafe manual removal attempts or spillage risks
High disposal costs without a clear classification or waste strategy
