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.

- Full digital monitoring and print-ready performance reports
The Spartan System
- Mid-sized: 1,000 dry lbs/hr or 100 GPM
- Ideal for space-limited sites and small-scale applications
- Quick setup with minimal maintenance requirements
- Includes digital control and reporting systems
Types of Dewatering Services We Offer
Sludge Dewatering
We provide sludge dewatering solutions for municipalities and industrial facilities across the U.S. Using our mobile centrifuge units, we reduce sludge volume at the source—cutting down on transport and disposal costs. Our systems handle both raw and digested sludge, as well as thickened waste from food, beverage, and dairy operations.
Lagoon & Pond Dewatering
Our team handles cleaning and dewatering of all lagoon types, including municipal lagoons, sedimentation ponds, lime sludge basins, and manure pits. We perform sludge pumping, dredging, water separation, and hauling. Whether lined or unlined, we work safely and efficiently with minimal disruption.
Tank & Digester Dewatering
For clarifiers, digesters, sludge holding tanks, and aeration basins, we provide confined space entry, flushing, pumping, and solids removal. We’re trained for confined-space safety and bring all equipment required for a turnkey cleanout solution.
