Reduce liquid waste hauling and disposal costs, with efficient solids dewatering processes. Our durable under-the-press sludge dryers, filter presses, and liquid crystallizers are designed for long-term rugged use.
Minimize waste disposal costs and meet your water recycling goals with efficient and durable solids dewatering and ZLD technologies
FILTER PRESS
SLUDGE DRYER
REDUCE SOLIDS DEWATERING COSTS AND SOLID WASTE VOLUME
- Quickly transform liquid discharge into a solid form that passes the slump test. Presses consistently convert aqueous solution containing 2 to 5% total suspended solids (TSS) to solid sludge cakes containing less than 65% moisture for easy disposal. Paired with a sludge dryer, the filter press is an essential step in achieving Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD).
EVAPORATE UP TO TWO-THIRDS OF DISPOSAL COSTS
- Sludge Dryers are designed to match your Filter Press capacity, giving you an efficient semi-continuous batch process. Its compact and customized build minimizes both floor space requirement and operator interference. Sludge falls directly from the Filter Press into the dryer, minimizing handling and exposure to hazardous waste.

EVAPORATOR
LIQUID CRYSTALLIZER
PREVENT DILUTION AND MAINTAIN CONSISTENT SOLUTION CHEMISTRY BY EVAPORTATING EXCESS WATER
- Drive down costs and reclaim drag-out while maintaining consistent solution concentrations with MAX-EVAP. Using atmospheric evaporation, MAX-EVAP protects your plating bath chemistry, prevents solution growth, and reduces your wastewater production rate.
THE FINAL STEP IN YOUR LIQUID DISCHARGE (ZLD) OPERATION
- Perfect for low-volume, corrosive liquid solutions, CONREC Liquid Crystallizer quickly removes moisture content, leaving behind crystallized salts for disposal. With a trustworthy design used in the industry for over 25 years, the Liquid Crystallizer eliminates contaminated haulage and disposal costs.
