Our process is that of a typical surface water treatment plant with the following treatment steps of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and filtration. The sludge that has accumulated during the sedimentation process will then be thickened and then dewatered in our plate and frame filter press. The fitter cake is then disposed of in a landfill. Our backup plan is for the thickened sludge to be hauled away and land applied on approved permitted land by Grandville Farms. Attached please find our completed application and required copies.
