Overview
The plant is designed to treat special industrial solid, muddy and liquid waste, including hazardous waste, produced by third parties and delivered in bulk or in packages. This waste consists largely of sludge from drilling or wastewater treatment, oil sludge and sludge from tank cleaning that must be treated before being sent to final disposal facilities.
The Mirandola plant treats industrial waste through filter pressing or inerting and disposes of liquid waste through filter pressing and processing in a reverse osmosis plant. The plant has a processing capacity of 80,000 tonnes per year.
The waste resulting from treatment is then sent to final plants equipped with the best technology for the recovery or disposal of the wastewater resulting from the filter pressing process.

- 1. A sludge dewatering section consisting mainly of a filter press with 150 plates measuring 2 x 2 m, which are clamped with a hydraulic piston at 300 atmospheres and through which conditioned sludge is pumped at 16 atmospheres until the space between the plates is saturated with the solid phase of the sludge.
- 2. An inerting section consisting of a mixing screw pump section, where muddy waste is mixed with chemicals for inerting and/or thickening depending on the desired purpose.
- 3. A treatment line consisting mainly of a two stage reverse osmosis and of zeolite and activated carbon filters.
The system consists essentially of 3 treatment lines:
