D:MAX – Mobile Grit Screening & Dewatering

The D:MAX is a fully mobile screening and classification system that removes grit, rag, plastics and solids from wastewater and sludge, reducing disposal volumes, cutting costs, and supporting material recovery.

The D:MAX is a highly efficient and environmentally responsible mobile unit designed to screen, separate, and dewater solids from sludge and wastewater streams. It helps clients reduce disposal volumes, lower transport costs, and improve operational efficiency.

Once deployed on site, the D:MAX can typically be up and running within around an hour. It’s ideal for digester cleaning, lagoon and pond desludging, storm tank and wet well cleaning, pumping station maintenance, silt management, and food process waste screening.

The process agitates the feed, screens and separates fractions, and returns water to the treatment process — while filling skips with separated material. The D:MAX can separate grit and screenings into two distinct fractions and, in many cases, grit can be recycled as a low-hazard material.

Why choose the D:MAX?

What Our Clients Say

Trusted by utilities, wastewater operators, and industrial sites across the UK.

The D:MAX enabled us to separate grit and rag on site and massively reduce disposal volumes. Turnaround was fast and disruption was kept to a minimum  excellent service from Qualitech.

Operations Manager
Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant

We used the D:MAX for digester cleaning and sludge screening. Reduced transport costs and fewer vehicle movements were a real benefit. Highly recommended for cost and efficiency.

Plant Engineer
Utilities & Process Services

Great deployment and setup  within a couple of hours we were screening silt and solids out of a lagoon. Output grit was clean and easy to handle, making the job safer and quicker.

Site Supervisor
Industrial Manufacturing Facility

The D:MAX helped us keep assets online while removing problematic solids. The environmental benefits and reduced waste were key for us  the team’s expertise made a real difference.

D:MAX – Frequently Asked Questions

The D:MAX is used for mobile separation, screening, and dewatering of solids from sludge and wastewater. It excels in projects like digester cleaning, lagoon desludging, storm tank cleaning, wet well maintenance, and silt management.

In most cases the D:MAX can be operational within around an hour of arriving on site, subject to access, setup, and material type.

Yes. By removing recoverable solids and dewatering the remaining material, the volume of waste is significantly reduced, leading to fewer vehicle movements and lower disposal costs.

In many cases, yes. Grit and mineral fractions separated by the D:MAX can be clean enough for reuse, subject to testing and applicable regulations.

The D:MAX can process up to 120m³ per hour, making it highly effective for large-scale screening and dewatering projects.
