Mobile Dewatering Services for Municipal & Industrial Needs

P&H Senesac provides expert mobile dewatering services that help facilities reduce waste volume, improve operational efficiency, and remain compliant with environmental regulations. Our mobile systems are engineered for quick deployment and high performance, allowing us to support a wide range of projects—from emergency responses to long-term maintenance schedules.

Whether you’re managing a wastewater treatment plant, food processing facility, or industrial manufacturing site, we bring over 35 years of experience and industry-leading equipment to every job. Our dewatering services are reliable, responsive, and fully tailored to your site conditions and sludge characteristics.

What Is Dewatering?

Dewatering is the process of removing water from sludge or other solid-liquid mixtures to reduce volume and weight for easier handling, disposal, or further processing. In industrial and municipal settings, this process is essential to minimize transportation costs, lower landfill impact, and comply with permit regulations.

At P&H Senesac, we use advanced centrifuge dewatering systems to separate solids from liquids efficiently. This technology allows us to treat a variety of sludge types, including biosolids, lime sludge, sediment, manure waste, and more. The end result: cleaner effluent, drier cake solids, and lower overall waste management costs.
