Regardless of the season, being spooked essentially boils down to suddenly encountering the unexpected or unimagined. Fortunately, when it comes to your pumping, mixing, and process equipment and systems, there’s no reason to get rattled when unexpected, or even unimagined problems hit. The Charles P. Crowley Company is always there for you, with service and solutions you can count on and have come to expect.
The first welcomed surprise this month is introducing you to the leading vacuum pump manufacturer we’re now representing. From there it is a whole new look at sludge dewatering innovation, before running through what to expect from meticulously crafted filtration devices to remove unwanted particles from water streams.
The Chatter awaits …

The Cutting Edge
CLEANWATER1 is a leading provider of water and wastewater treatment solutions. One of their latest advancements is SludgeVision™, a technology designed to optimize the sludge dewatering process in wastewater treatment plants, specifically for use with gravity belt press equipment. It combines hardware and software to assist plant operators in controlling the polymer dose required for optimal sludge dewatering.
SludgeVision transforms sludge dewatering from a labor-intensive, trial and error practice into a data-driven, automated process control application.
- Real-time monitoring with a live feed of your belt press being sent directly to the SludgeVision software.
- The software processes and analyzes the visual data to determine the optimal polymer dose needed for effective sludge separation.
- The data is translated into real-time feedback that can be used by operators or integrated into your existing PLC/SCADA systems for automated polymer dosage control.
- The system has a built-in fail-safe (Safe Mode). If the camera feed is lost or communication is interrupted, it automatically reverts to a safe, predefined pump speed to prevent over- or under-dosing.
The SludgeVision Polymer Control System combines a non-invasive, real-time HD camera, a computer-vision engine, and a control system designed for sludge dewatering using belt presses. It continuously monitors sludge dewatering, delivering immediate insights into belt-press performance.
Time Savings
Operators can step away from constant monitoring and focus on other tasks.
Polymer Savings
Maintain optimal dosage and reduce chemical usage, lowering operational costs.
Consistent Performance
Real-time control ensures reliable sludge separation quality, even as sludge composition and belt-press conditions fluctuate.
