• The entire process is mechanical from the pumping systems that move the sludge to the air spargers and skimmers. Not to mention the analytical laboratory, the management offices and the sludge control equipment. Any mechanical system sucks up energy like a vacuum. The average municipal system costs between three and five dollars per thousand gallons of water treated. 33% 1 Vote
