Turnkey Sludge Dewatering and Separation Solutions
FGS Utilities provides centrifuges, filter presses and mobile dewatering equipment for temporary hire, planned maintenance programmes, emergency response and long-term sludge treatment projects.
Our equipment hire is supported by a complete turnkey service covering every aspect of sludge, silt and liquid waste management. From initial site assessment and laboratory analysis through to dewatering, haulage, treatment and final recycling or disposal, we provide clients with a single, experienced delivery partner from project start to finish.
Whether additional treatment capacity is required during planned maintenance, existing equipment has failed or a complete dewatering operation is needed, our flexible solutions help keep sites operational, compliant and cost-effective.
High-Capacity Mobile Centrifuge Hire
FGS Utilities operates high-capacity mobile decanter centrifuges with processing capacities of up to 90m³/hour, supported by experienced operators and a complete turnkey dewatering service.
By reducing the water content and overall volume of sludge, centrifuge dewatering helps minimise transport and disposal costs while maximising opportunities for beneficial reuse and sustainable recycling.
Filter Press Hire
Alongside centrifuges, FGS Utilities provides filter presses for temporary and longer-term hire where pressure filtration offers the most effective dewatering solution.
Our experienced team will assess your waste stream, treatment objectives and site constraints before recommending the most appropriate equipment and process.
