Pulp and Paper
Wastewater Treatment & Sludge Dewatering for Pulp & Paper Mills
Pulp and paper production is one of the most water-intensive industries, with water used at nearly every stage from pulping to papermaking. That leaves mills with high volumes of wastewater carrying fiber, suspended solids and organics, along with primary and biological sludges that build up in clarifiers, aeration basins and settling ponds. ECOR provides on-site wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, dredging and remediation services that help mills keep solids under control, stay within permit limits and reduce disposal costs.
Our team brings company-owned mobile equipment and 24/7 staffing to every project. We handle everything from short-term cleanouts to full-time contract dewatering.
