High organic loads and leach field failures are septic issues that impact operations, raising costs and adding stress. SludgeHammer’s patented biological system can remediate agricultural waste into an eco-friendly, sustainable solution.
Agricultural operations generate large amounts of organic waste in wastewater, often containing harmful bacteria, excessive nutrients, and other pollutants. Without proper treatment, these contaminants re-enter the environment, leading to pollution, poor soil health, and threaten nearby water sources.
Traditional wastewater treatment systems can be costly, inefficient, and require constant maintenance. SludgeHammer® Technology is designed to manage the challenges of agricultural waste with cost-effective and efficient solutions.
The S-86 scalable design is perfect for commercial wastewater treatment and community systems, offering exceptional advanced treatment.
Designed for up to 1000 gallons of wastewater per day, for residential projects requiring NSF40 advanced wastewater treatment
SludgeHammer® improves wastewater quality by breaking down harmful contaminants like nutrients, organic matter, and pathogens, protecting local ecosystems and ensuring clean water discharge. It also manages excessive nutrient levels in runoff, preventing soil degradation and water contamination, while reducing the need for chemical treatments.
Designed for sustainability, SludgeHammer® minimizes waste, odors, and lowers the environmental impact of agricultural operations. Its energy-efficient systems save costs on installation and maintenance, while helping meet strict environmental regulations to ensure a cleaner, safer environment for communities and farms.
We know farms are multifaceted, complex operations. And, like most things in life, problems will eventually arise. Animal waste and chemicals cause problems for septic and pond systems, like clogs and inefficiency. SludgeHammer® not only clears these issues creating an ongoing permanent solution, but also creates clean, reusable water perfect for irrigation, where permitted.
With its scalable design, low-maintenance operation, and cost-saving features, SludgeHammer® is the perfect choice for any farming operation looking to improve wastewater treatment while protecting the environment.
Reichardt Duck Farm in Petaluma, California, supplies 5,000 fresh ducks daily to the SF Bay Area. Their 2 million ducks produce 200,000 gallons of manure daily, filling ponds and requiring $100,000 in excavation costs. Weekly chlorine use of 180 gallons for coop water disinfection and nitrate concerns added to their challenges.
SludgeHammer® installed a 1,500-gallon bacterial generator to produce 500 gallons of concentrated bacteria daily, restoring their pond system. This reduced chlorine use to 30 gallons per week, saved $180,000 in feed costs annually, and improved duck growth.
