If so, the pilot test is for you. AMCON will prepare an actual machine at your wastewater treatment plant and deliver a dewatering test on the actual sludge that you want to treat. This is a great opportunity to see first-hand the performance of the sludge dewatering press, as well as its operation and maintenance methods. We have received favourable comments from our customers who are considering the introduction of a sludge dewatering press as they can eliminate their concerns before its introduction.

How to request a Pilot Test
1. Inquiry and Consultation
For a consultation or inquiry, please use this form to contact us. We will ask you about the sludge type, amount of sludge, and installation site.
2. Free Sludge Sample Analysis
It’s ideal if we can analyze the sludge before the pilot test to ensure it runs smoothly. Please send us 2 to 5 liters of sludge, ensuring the canisters are well-sealed and labeled.
