Remove sludge from your lagoon or pond with the patented Sludge Sled, a new and simple sludge removal and dredging system. It can remove sludge while a wastewater lagoon remains in operation. No shutdown is necessary because the Sludge Sled is designed to minimize resuspension of bottom sediment. The Sled is positioned over the sediment by a float that also serves as a platform to raise and lower the Sled for maintenance. The Sludge Sled system is light enough to be moved by hand, so it can be operated by in-house personnel and it is the perfect sludge removal system. Best of all, it is relatively inexpensive compared to other dredging systems. Dredging is done on an annual basis, a steady-state condition can be achieved thus eliminating the need for a complete sludge removal operation.
