Dredging is essential to maintain our ports, canals, basins and industrial zones. But one crucial question remains all too often underestimated: what to do with the sludge and sediment extracted?
👉 These water-laden materials pose a number of challenges:
- High transport and treatment costs (weight and volume)
- Saturated storage spaces
- Increased environmental risks in the event of pollution
At APROTEK, we have developed an innovative solution to drastically reduce the water content of sludge: the super-binder APROMUD®.
💡 Why is APROMUD® a game-changer?
✅ Ultra-fast dewatering
APROMUD® works in minutes, reducing sludge fluidity and making it easier to handle.
✅ Volume reduction up to -60%
Less sludge to transport = lower logistics costs and carbon footprint.
✅ Adaptable to all types of sludge
Marine, river, industrial… APROMUD® adapts to the varied compositions of dredged sediments, as well as concrete sludge or laitance.
✅ Facilitates recovery or disposal
Stabilized, drier sludge = broader options for treatment or recovery (fill, public works materials, etc.).
🌍 A major economic and environmental impact, with fewer trucks on the road.
By optimizing dewatering, APROMUD® contributes to more sustainable and competitive dredging operations.
