Residual Sludge Removal
Remove Residual Sludge Safely—Preserve Upper Liquid Layers and Maintain Productivity
In wastewater treatment, ports, and industrial maintenance, removing settled sludge from the bottom of tanks, basins, or waste pools—without disturbing the upper liquid layer—is critical for maintaining operations and controlling costs.
Traditional methods like manual dredging or air-lift pumps often require full drainage or system shutdowns, causing unnecessary delays and disruptions.
FixPro’s Vactran vacuum systems offer a selective, in-service sludge removal solution that minimizes downtime and maximizes efficiency.

Key Advantages:
- Removes residual sludge and debris from the bottom while tanks or pools remain in service—eliminating the need for shutdowns
- Utilizes a specialized low-profile nozzle that rests on the floor and extracts sludge and solids with minimal turbulence
- Preserves the upper liquid layer, making it ideal for sensitive or active systems
- Replaces aggressive, imprecise tools like air-lift pumps with a controlled, targeted approach
- Compact and safe for use in restricted or hazardous spaces
FixPro’s smart sludge removal system reduces disruption, shortens cleaning cycles, and keeps your operations running smoothly—even during maintenance.
