The DRAIMAD® sludge bagging system is a unique, patented process for bagging and dewatering solids and is capable of achieving a dry solids content of 10 percent to 12 percent after only a few hours of operation. The resulting reduction in mass and weight represents significant savings in solids disposal costs. Solids from the DRAIMAD® can be applied either to a landfill or for beneficial reuse, according to 503 Regulations.
