SLUDGE DRYING
Sustainable, Economical Sludge Drying and Dewatering
Encore Flow specializes in sludge dewatering and drying and uses highly efficient and unique systems with low energy cost. With Encore Flow, wastewater treatment plants solve the complex problems in our current sludge and wastewater manufacturing industries.
SLUDGE DRYING
Advanced high-tech sludge drying.
Our sludge drying unit is one of the only low heat, energy-efficient dryers on the market. Unlike natural gas dryers with cylinder or barrel drying systems that require outside air and release some of the chemicals from the sludge being dried back into the atmosphere, our system is closed-loop and ensures that PFAS compounds, heavy metals and other contaminants are trapped inside the machine for safety.
With the Encore Flow dryers, air is heated up inside the machine and dehumidified, taking the remaining liquid back to the aeration basin or headworks for retreatment with our Encore Flow mineral compounds to ensure no PFAS compounds or contaminants remain.
The Benefits of Encore Flow Sludge Drying
Electric Heat Pump
Electrical energy delivers a high return on investment by reducing peak power charges while providing an abundance of free heat.
Low Energy, Low Cost
The free heat from properly designed combined heat and power systems will save 35% or more over a traditional electric / boiler installation while creating a smaller environmental footprint.
Easy to Setup
Our dryers allow for a quiet continuous and automatic operation of sludge flocculation, thickening, dewatering and filtrate discharging. It is easy to operate and requires little maintenance.
PFAS Destruction
Our sludge drying process is a closed-loop self-contained system with no fresh air makeup needed. This low-temperature process allows water to be evaporated from the sludge that will be sent back to the treatment plant or will have secondary treatment to capture any lingering PFAS Chemicals.
90%
Since setting up Encore Flow fermenters at our collection system sites, our wastewater treatment plant has been 5x more effective.

SLUDGE DRYING BENEFITS
The Benefits of Encore Flow Sludge Drying
- Lower Cost
- Double and Trip Effect Heat Pump Cycling
- Advanced Slitting
- Small Footprint
- No Fossil Fuel Required
Encore Flow is the only turnkey clean water solution.
If we used our current wastewater system to create a circular economy, without getting rid of PFAS compounds and other dangerous chemicals that plague our water table, we would be doing the world a disservice.
At Encore Flow, our rare earth minerals allow for ongoing treatment of all influent as well as activate sludge, and our end process destroys PFAS compounds and nutrients safely. The end product is safe air, safe water, and clean building materials.
Only with Encore Flow can we create a true circular water economy.
Are you testing for PFAS?
Although the EPA has not yet set PFAS standards for sludge and wastewater, the agency has long been aware of the problem. Problems have been reported for decades, with PFOA and PFOS in the water, and in fields, spread on grazing lands. Many tests have confirmed that these chemicals are contaminating animals and humans in rural areas.
