WELCOME TO TVD (UK) Ltd and the INNOVATIVE DRYVAC DEWATERING AND DRYING SYSTEM
Organic and inorganic sludges and slurries safely, simply and cost effectively dried to less than
1% moisture in one operation
Through the application of the innovative DryVac
dewatering and drying technology developed in the mid 1990’s TVD
seeks to provide a safe, simple, flexible and cost effective solution to the re-use, recycling and - as a worst case -
disposal of waste streams.
Based on filter press technology with specially adapted filter plates there are now
over 40 DryVac installations worldwide
working in a range of applications including municipal and industrial bio-solids, metal
hydroxides, pigments and food waste.
Although primarily aimed at both organic and inorganic liquid waste in the form of sludges
and slurries the technology
is able to process any material that can be successfully pumped into the filter press.
Increasing regulation is forcing waste producers and processors to review their processes in order to reduce costs.
The Landfill Directive (to be fully implemented by July 2009) is helping to bring about a change in the way we dispose of
waste in the UK and aims to reduce the pollution potential from landfilled waste that can impact on surface water,
groundwater, soil, air, and also contribute to climate change. The directive sets demanding targets to reduce the
amount of biodegradable municipal landfilled waste.

The UK government also have requirements for a “protection of waters against pollution from agriculture”
and that as 70% of England falls within Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZs), a revised action programme has
been established to tackle the issue.

DryVac technology provides an attractive option as TVD’s mission is to provide a tool to facilitate the re-use
or recycling of waste streams and including where possible, the environmentally sustainable conversion of
waste to energy. |
