Boonsboro, Maryland, faced high costs for liquid sludge disposal at its 300,000 gpd wastewater treatment plant. To address this, the town tested two dewatering technologies: the fan press and the rotary press. The Fournier Rotary Press was selected based on its low polymer consumption, high solids capture rate and reliable performance, which simplified operations and significantly reduced disposal expenses.
After months of use, Boonsboro expects to cut sludge disposal costs by at least 50%. Plant operator Jesse Hill praised the press for its ease of use and unattended operation, allowing staff to focus on other essential tasks. The Fournier Rotary Press installation has improved overall plant efficiency and saved the municipality time and money.
