From small municipal projects to large industrial sites around Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and South Bend, we provide reliable water treatment solutions tailored to the needs of each dredging project.

Initial Screening and Pre-Treatment

Before water enters the treatment system, it passes through coarse screens to remove sticks, debris, vegetation, and high-volume sediments. This pre-treatment step protects pumps, filters, and downstream components from clogging, ensuring smooth operation throughout the entire process.

Coagulation and Flocculation

Using industry-standard chemical coagulants, fine particles bond together into larger clusters called flocs. Gentle mixing enhances this bonding, helping suspended solids gather efficiently so they can be removed during sedimentation. This step is essential for commercial water treatment solutions that require consistent output.

Sedimentation

The water then flows into settling basins or tanks, where the heavier flocs settle at the bottom as sludge. These solids are safely extracted for disposal or further processing. Projects near the Wabash River and White River often rely on this step due to naturally high silt loads.

Filtration

The clarified water passes through sand, gravel, or membrane filters to capture remaining suspended particles. This advanced filtration delivers the polished clarity required for wastewater treatment services used by industrial facilities and municipal utilities.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs)

To eliminate dissolved organic compounds and pathogens, we use ozone, UV light, or hydrogen peroxide. These treatments break down tough contaminants, supporting eco-friendly water treatment methods that avoid overuse of chemicals.

Adsorption

Activated carbon systems remove residual organic materials, chemical traces, and odor-causing substances. This ensures the water meets the expectations of commercial users and community stakeholders.

Disinfection

A final disinfection step—typically chlorination or UV—is applied to ensure the treated water is microbiologically safe. This guarantees compliance for reuse or environmental discharge, especially in sensitive areas like the Indiana Dunes watershed.

Monitoring and Quality Control

Automated sensors and regular lab sampling verify that treatment performance remains consistent. These quality checks maintain compliance with IDEM regulations and assure clients they’re receiving trusted, high-standard water treatment services in Indiana.
