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.
