Dry sludge without heat
The Electro Osmosis Dehydrator (ELODE, pronounced E-Load) further dewaters cake produced by mechanical dewatering equipment (eg. belt press, screw press, centrifuge).
ELODE typically reduces cake weight by 50% or more in just 3 minutes. It consumes 300 kWh to remove 1 ton of water, using only electricity - no heat, chemicals, or mechanical force.
Rather than using heat to boil water to steam like conventional thermal dryers, ELODE uses electrical polarity differences between solids and water to “shock” the water out of the cake via electro-osmosis. Our proprietary process has over 8 patents.
90% of 150+ pilot tests reduced sludge cake weight by 50%+
