Water & Wastewater Treatment Equipment Serving Fort Worth, TX
Precision lime slaking, biosolids stabilization, drying, storage, and truck loading systems engineered by RDP Technologies for Fort Worth and Tarrant County municipal facilities.
Trusted Process Equipment for Fort Worth Water & Wastewater Plants
For over 45 years, RDP Technologies has been building robust equipment, backed by dependable process performance, based upon a foundation of practical technologies that simply perform. Fort Worth-area utilities count on RDP for clean, accurate, reliable systems that are simple and easy to maintain.
Biosolids Storage & Precision Truck Loading Systems
Fort Worth Water operates the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility, one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in Texas, handling flow from Fort Worth and 23 surrounding wholesale customer cities across Tarrant County and adjacent counties. The plant serves a regional service area of more than 1.2 million people, and daily biosolids volumes move to land application and beneficial reuse outlets across North Texas through the long-running Fort Worth biosolids program. Reliable storage and loadout equipment is essential to keeping operations running smoothly through extreme summer heat and occasional severe weather events typical of the North Texas climate. RDP Technologies engineers biosolids storage systems and precision truck loading systems that automate the full flow from dewatering through to the departing truck.
Moving floor technology built into live bottom bin storage keeps sticky sludge cake flowing reliably through prolonged 100-plus-degree summer stretches, eliminating the bridging and rat-holing common to conventional steep-walled hoppers. Sludge cake truck loading runs automatically through the precision truck loading system, with most loads completed within minutes and held to within a couple hundred pounds of the operator’s target weight.
Three decades and approximately three hundred biosolids conveying equipment installations have refined a layout that keeps trucks clean, departure times predictable, and operator involvement minimal at the bay. Because the cycle runs without continuous attendance, Fort Worth-area plant staff can redirect labor toward higher-value work elsewhere in the facility. For utilities managing tornado season operational planning and routine hauler rotations to agricultural land application sites across North Texas, that automation directly improves daily throughput and operational resilience.
Biosolids Lime Stabilization & Pasteurization Solutions in Fort Worth, TX
Fort Worth’s biosolids program has been a regional reference for North Texas beneficial reuse for decades, with substantial agricultural land application across the Cross Timbers and Blackland Prairie regions. Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) provides regulatory oversight under federal EPA 503 standards, and both Class A and Class B pathways remain viable for utilities across the state. Class A treatment continues to attract Fort Worth-area utilities looking for broader reuse flexibility. RDP Technologies has been delivering EPA 503 compliant lime-based solutions since the federal rules were first established, supporting both Class A biosolids treatment and Class B biosolids stabilization at facilities across Texas.
The EnVessel Pasteurization biosolids pasteurization system is one of the most widely deployed Class A processes nationally, with more than 70 installations operating across the United States. EnVessel pairs lime addition with controlled supplemental heat instead of relying on heavy lime overdosing, keeping chemical demand reasonable while reliably hitting the time, temperature, and pH thresholds required for full pathogen kill.
Enhanced Pasteurization moves the cycle into a sealed sequencing batch reactor where lime drives pH above 12 and controlled heating completes disinfection. Both pathways serve as proven wastewater pathogen reduction equipment, supported by published case studies and decades of operational data from municipalities nationwide. For Fort Worth-area facilities planning capital upgrades against TCEQ requirements or evaluating Class A expansion alongside existing reuse operations, these are regulator-recognized options with strong long-term track records.
Lime Slaking & Feed Systems for Fort Worth Water Treatment Facilities
Fort Worth Water operates five surface water treatment plants including the Eagle Mountain, Holly, Rolling Hills, North Holly, and South Holly water treatment facilities, drawing from Eagle Mountain Lake, Lake Worth, Cedar Creek Lake, Richland-Chambers Reservoir, and Benbrook Lake. Together these facilities serve Fort Worth and 33 wholesale customer cities across North Texas, making Fort Worth one of the largest surface water treatment operators in the country. The naturally hard surface water from these reservoirs requires substantial lime feed for softening, pH adjustment, and corrosion control. RDP Technologies designs lime slaking and feed systems engineered for the precision and reliability that high-volume North Texas municipal operations require year-round.
The Tekkem family of lime slakers for water treatment applies load cell technology to combine a measured weight of quicklime with a measured weight of water, holding the slaking reaction within the proven 180°F to 190°F temperature window. This weight-based control approach enables precision lime dosing systems with slurry concentration adjustable from one percent up to thirty percent based on plant requirements.
The same Tekkem platform converts to operate as a hydrated lime feed system without any physical modifications, providing flexibility as lime market conditions shift across Texas and the broader Southwest. A continuous slurry delivery loop combined with pinch valve and flow meter dosing supports accurate feed at multiple application points within a facility. With only one moving part inside the reaction tank, maintenance demands stay infrequent and predictable for plants running around the clock through Texas’s extreme summer demand peaks.
Custom Engineering & Process Equipment Support Serving Fort Worth
Water and wastewater infrastructure across the Fort Worth metro region has expanded continuously to support one of the fastest-growing major cities in the country, with new treatment capacity and major capital programs running concurrently to keep up with population growth across Tarrant County and surrounding suburban counties. Plants here must operate through severe weather events including tornadoes, ice storms, and prolonged drought conditions, while serving a regional wholesale customer base that extends well beyond Fort Worth’s city limits. RDP Technologies brings over 45 years of custom process equipment engineering experience to capital projects across Tarrant, Parker, Denton, Wise, and surrounding North Texas counties.
As a wastewater treatment equipment manufacturer that handles design, fabrication, and controls programming under one roof, we adapt to existing tankage, constrained site footprints, and operator workflows rather than forcing a generic package into a difficult location. Our intelligent control platforms integrate cleanly with SCADA systems and meet the detailed reporting expectations of Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, regional water authorities including Tarrant Regional Water District, and EPA Region 6 oversight.
We engage directly with municipal engineers, consulting firms, and plant operations staff from early scoping through commissioning and long-term technical support. Robust equipment, dependable process performance, and practical technologies that simply perform are the principles that have guided every project we deliver. Fort Worth-area facilities benefit from working with a single accountable manufacturer that designs, builds, and stands behind the equipment for the long haul.
Biosolids Drying Systems for Fort Worth Wastewater Plants
As Fort Worth biosolids volumes continue to grow with metro population and demand for higher-value end products like dried biosolids fertilizer continues, drying systems become a strategic capital investment for cutting hauling tonnage and expanding product market options across North Texas. The RDP-Fenton wastewater sludge dryer operates on a repeating batch cycle that allows drying time to be adjusted to match the natural variation in sludge cake solids concentration coming off the dewatering line.
Batch sludge drying equipment handles those upstream variations cleanly, whereas continuous-flow dryers often struggle when feed quality shifts unexpectedly. Operators in the field have repeatedly noted how little daily attention the system requires once a stable recipe is dialed in.
The dried product comes out significantly reduced in volume and weight, lowering trucking costs and opening pathways into fertilizer, soil amendment, and energy recovery markets across Texas, Oklahoma, and the broader Southern Plains. Pairing the dryer with upstream RDP lime feed or storage equipment gives Fort Worth wastewater plants a fully integrated biosolids handling line backed by a single manufacturer with consistent controls and ongoing support. Long service life and ease of operation were the design priorities from the start, and that focus shows up clearly in real-world performance data from installed sites across the country.
