Our Products

A DIFFERENT SOLUTION TO WASTEWATER TREATMENT

NSF Certified

NSF-40 for single-family homes requiring advanced treatment or engineered systems.

Scalable

A single SludgeHammer easily handles a home, but just add tanks and extra units to scale to a community, a restaurant, a campground. Our modular SludgeHammer technology can grow with your needs as you grow.

Low Maintenance

Air does all the work. The only mechanical part is the low-watt linear blower that sits in our proprietary basin near the house, easily accessible for cleaning. Trillions of our bacterial workers do the rest. (Mechanically Simple, Biologically Complex ).

Ecological

The natural soil-bacteria in the SludgeHammer Blend™ enhance the soil ecosystem to purify waste and protect the environment.

IAPMO Certified

IAPMO Retrofit units for restoring leachfield function and rigorously tested under Standard IGC180-2003

Economical

SludgeHammer technology fits into any commercially available septic tank, easy to install, draws only the electricity of a light-bulb and eliminates costly regular sludge pumping.

Non Invasive

Leachfields are restored from within so your yard is not torn up by heavy equipment. Smells are gone and “septic” disappears from your septic tank.

Sustainable

Elimination of organic contaminants provides water that can be reclaimed through irrigation returning the nutrients to nature while the SludgeHammer bacteria protect and enhance soil fertility and function for a lifetime.

HOW IT WORKS

The SludgeHammer, is a fully refined, tested solution to apply advanced biotechnology to wastewater treatment. Using the Aerobic Bacterial Generator (ABG), SludgeHammer is now working in thousands of septic systems and larger industrial waste systems throughout the world in a simple and economic fashion.

THE SLUDGEHAMMER DIFFERENCE

THE SLUDGEHAMMER DIFFERENCE

IT’S SCIENCE NOT MAGIC

The Aerobic Bacterial Generator (ABG) is a breakthrough concept that opened the pathway to apply advanced biotechnology to wastewater treatment in a simple and economic fashion. The SludgeHammer is fully refined, tested and now working in thousands of septic systems and larger industrial waste systems throughout the world.

OUR GLOBAL PRESENCE

NORTH AMERICA

Disposing wastewater from wineries, algae ponds, hurricane zones, and more.

The French Road Cellars case study in Michigan found that SludgeHammer reduced BOD from 5,000 mg/l down to just 165 mg/l at their winery.

SludgeHammer was asked to intervene at the site of an algae lake in Northern California, and the PondBot proved highly successful by starving out algae as it swam through the pond.

After Hurricane Katrina took a toll on New Orleans, SludgeHammer’s unparalleled technology allowed wastewater to be safely disposed of in the ocean.

EUROPE & AFRICA

Helping floating hotels stay afloat.

Bibby Maritime Limited, a highly regarded British shipping firm, is known for their “Coastels,” or floating hotels, and the need for a Coastel became apparent in Nigeria.

The plans for disposal of wastewater on the Coastel became a critical and costly issue when it was realized that the location would be incredibly remote, with no access to a local sewer.

In less than one month, SludgeHammer constructed a successful on-board wastewater treatment facility designed to discharge wastewater back into the ocean safely.

ASIA & OCEANIA

Providing wastewater treatment in leach fields, marketplaces, and remote commercial areas where systems have failed.

SludgeHammer’s technology provides a clean, environmentally-conscious solution to unclog and reclaim failed draining systems for leach fields.

SludgeHammer’s ability to dramatically reduce solids in rural marketplace systems allows the final effluent to be reused on site with simple subsurface drip irrigation systems.

Our products can remediate clogged and failing septic systems, but SludgeHammer also has the ability to design and install complete wastewater systems for new projects of any size, anywhere.

FIVE UNIQUE APPLICATIONS

Residential

All SludgeHammer systems designed for residential use fit into existing septic systems.

SludgeHammer upgrades community septic systems into purpose-designed and built wastewater treatment systems.

We have retrofitted outdated treatment facilities on land and sea, and built new, ground-up designs in commercial and industrial settings.

The SludgeHammer process combines unique strains of bacteria with water aeration to revolutionize wastewater treatment in wineries.

SludgeHammer’s system effectively breaks down effluent, and naturally prepares wastewater for redistribution back into susceptible marine environments.
