Dewatering sludge shouldn’t require workarounds. CarboNet’s plug-and-play chemistry simplifies dosing, cuts polymer use, and helps crews stay on target, whether you’re in a plant or a pit.
Sludge dewatering is one of the costlier steps in water treatment. Miss the mark and you don’t just lose solids—you lose time, profit, and KPIs. CarboNet flocculants and coagulants are engineered for consistency under real-world conditions, not just bench tests.
Whether you’re dredging a canal, managing a hydrovac fleet, or running a plant dewatering line, our chemistry reduces make-down, simplifies startup, and delivers drier sludge with less polymer.
Why it matters: Most dewatering setups struggle with the same issues: inconsistent floc formation, dosing drift, equipment fouling, and watery cakes that spike haul costs. And many rely on chemistry that can’t adapt to temperature swings, high solids, or changing flows. Every miss adds labor, risk, or expense.
CarboNet chemistry solves for this:
Behind-the-scenes: CarboNet chemistry is built on the NanoNet platform, our molecular engine for faster, cleaner, and more consistent solids removal. Whether you’re running gels in the field or emulsions at a central site, NanoNets supercharge performance by reducing polymer use, improving floc strength, and shrinking sludge volume.
The bottom line: CarboNet chemistry reduces sludge volume, lowers haul and disposal costs, and helps operators hit dewatering targets without chasing pump settings or cleaning up spills. You get faster separation, simpler dosing, and better margins—on any shift, at any site.
A regional municipality was dredging a lagoon in preparation for upgrades. Our customer was contracted to dewater the dredged biosolids and enable the construction of the new system.
The problem: Our customer didn’t have enough make-down systems on hand to address the opportunity.
Behind the scenes: Without a make-down system, the incumbent flocculant could not be applied to the sludge on the way to the geotextile. The operator was faced with finding a new strategy or turning down work.
The solution: SimpleFloc, CarboNet’s pre-activated, no make-down chemistry was chosen as a way to break the logjam. SimpleFloc arrives ready-to-use in plug-and-play tanks that pump directly into the line without requiring any additional gear.
Results: SimpleFloc not only allowed our customer to take on new business and scale throughput, but delivered additional benefits:
