Residential Wastewater Treatment

Septic and residential wastewater systems can fail when soil becomes clogged over time. SludgeHammer offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and sustainable solution to remediate and improve performance without the high cost of replacement.

Commercial Wastewater Treatment

Our commercial products are flexible and scalable to grow with your needs. These innovative products are environmentally conscious and efficient, allowing wastewater to be treated and safely reintroduced to the environment within days.

SludgeHammer® Industrial Applications

SludgeHammer® Technology is scalable for any application, large or small, ensuring safe wastewater reintroduction to the environment.

The Challenge of Industrial Wastewater

Industries generate some of the largest volumes of wastewater, often as a byproduct of manufacturing processes or cleaning operations. This wastewater is typically highly polluted, requiring rigorous treatment before it can safely return to lakes, rivers, or sewer systems.

No matter your industry, SludgeHammer® Technology can improve your wastewater treatment process, ensuring pollutants are properly managed and your system operates at peak performance.

How SludgeHammer® Can Help in the Industrial Sector

While heavy metals and toxins must be handled separately, organic matter can be effectively treated using the power of bacteria and enzymes. SludgeHammer’s proprietary Blend targets organic pollutants, breaking them down efficiently and sustainably. This not only improves wastewater quality but also greatly extends the life of wastewater treatment systems, including septic leach field and concrete infrastructure. SludgeHammer’s innovative approach ensures that your system operates at peak performance, reducing maintenance and operating costs over time.

Bibby Progress Floating

Commercial Case Study

When Chevron needed housing for 750 workers at a remote gas plant in Nigeria, wastewater management posed a major challenge. With no local sewer access and pump-and-haul costs too high, Bibby Maritime’s floating hotel required a self-contained system. SludgeHammer® stepped in to deliver.

Using its Aerobic Bacterial Generator (ABG) technology, SludgeHammer® built an onboard wastewater treatment system for the barge, processing over 50,000 gallons daily and meeting strict environmental standards. In just a month, the retrofit was completed, ensuring reliable sanitation for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do SludgeHammer® systems cost?

The cost of a new SludgeHammer® system varies depending on whether our partners are implementing a new design or remediating a current system, as well as on the size and scope of the project. For an accurate estimate, contact us and we’d be happy to refer you to an installer that’s local to your area.

Why are SludgeHammer® products more expensive than other brands?

SludgeHammer® Group Ltd. manufactures the only Aerobic Bacterial Generators (ABGs) that have been rigorously tested and certified according to official industry standards, including a listing with the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). In addition to partnering with the industry’s most elite installers and engineers, our ongoing testing, certification, and data ensure that property owners are protected at the highest level.

Are SludgeHammer® systems guaranteed to work?

SludgeHammer® systems have been rigorously tested and certified by the industry’s most elite organizations. We offer a limited lifetime warranty on all technology; however, guarantees cannot be made as we’re unable to control actual daily flows. If harmful substances are introduced to the system or if annual maintenance needs are neglected, issues can arise.

How long will my SludgeHammer® system last?

Provided you’re using your SludgeHammer® system within its design parameters and maintaining it in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, your system should last indefinitely.

Does my SludgeHammer® system require ongoing maintenance?

Yes, all systems, including conventional septic systems, require consistent maintenance. SludgeHammer® systems should be maintained annually for residential systems and multi-annually for non-residential systems.

Is the bacteria safe?

Yes, the bacteria is safe. However, avoiding contact with the eyes and handwashing are always recommended practices when handling any bacteria.
