A unique, energy-efficient system for continuous removal, separation, and recovery of sludge on water surfaces.
A unique, energy-efficient system for continuous removal, separation, and recovery of sludge on water surfaces.
Automatic removal and separation
of sludge from wastewater
Capacity to collect up to 6,000 ltrs of sludge per hour
Continuous operation 24/7, with minimal service requirements
Energy and cost-efficient operation,reducing costs substantially
The SCW 6000 skimmer separator hybrid is designed to remove sludge and foam from the water surface in wastewater treatment plants, where these pollutants otherwise prohibit an effective water cleaning process. By removing and separating the sludge, the water cleaning process will run more effectively, and the sludge can be reused for bioenergy production. The SCW 6000 is controlled remotely by an easy-to-use app for smartphone or tablet.
The SCW 6000 helps wastewater treatment plants reduce water use, power consumption, manual work, aeration and use of active carbon and chemicals.

CUSTOMER REFERENCE
Currently, sludge is managed through manual flushing or being pumped away by vacuum trucks. This requires a considerable amount of water, which can result in the loss of the energy potential of the sludge. If the sludge can be collected without water, the water treatment plant can instead convert it to bioenergy and take advantage of phosphorus and minimize operation stoppages, operation costs, energy and chemical use.
SurfCleaner has a patented technology that collects and separates the sludge in an energy-efficient way – this will enable a significant increase in bioenergy from municipal waste streams. This technology will now be validated as a complete system that can be integrated into existing wastewater treatment plants around the world.
