On construction sites, excavated material management (matex) is a major technical, economic, and regulatory challenge. Whether dealing with construction spoil from tunnel boring machines, drilling operations, or earthworks, liquid sludge complicates sludge treatment, transportation, and recovery.
With APROMUD®, our dedicated solution for sludge drying and solidification of liquid materials, it is now possible to transform unstable sludge into a shovel-ready, handleable, and transportable material in less than thirty minutes.
A Fast and High-Performance Solution for Sludge Dewatering and Treatment
APROMUD® is a super-drying agent formulated from organic polymer chemistry. It works through rapid absorption and structuring of the liquid phase, enabling efficient dewatering within just a few minutes.
The transition from liquid sludge to a cohesive, solid material takes less than thirty minutes. The treated material becomes immediately shovelable, mechanically handleable, and suitable for optimized loading operations.
The required dosage is low, below 1%, minimizing added volume while preserving the original characteristics of construction spoil. This performance allows optimized excavated material management (matex) directly on site.
Operator Safety: A Safe and Controlled Process
Safety is a priority on any construction site, especially when handling liquid sludge.
APROMUD® is safe for operators. There is no exothermic reaction, meaning no heat release and no risk of burns during application. The transformation process is controlled, without violent reactions.
The solidification of sludge also improves material stability, reducing risks of slipping, splashing, or projection during loading and ensuring safer transportation to treatment facilities.
A Low-Carbon Solution from Recycling Streams
APROMUD® is 100% sourced from recycling streams. It is part of a responsible environmental approach and contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of sludge treatment operations.
The product is labeled Efficient Solution by the Solar Impulse Foundation, recognizing both its environmental and economic performance.
By optimizing sludge loading and improving sludge consistency, it decreases the number of truck rotations, leading to lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and optimized labor costs.
Optimized Recovery of Excavated Materials
Beyond sludge solidification, APROMUD® enhances the recovery and reuse of excavated materials.
The product is 100% biodegradable according to NF EN 14995 standards on biological sludge and 100% inert when used on mineral sludge. It is neutral and does not alter the initial physicochemical nature of the sludge.
It is compatible with all recovery and treatment channels and improves acceptance at treatment centers thanks to better sludge consistency. Materials are more structured, cohesive, and resistant to erosion.
