RDP Technologies has spent more than 45 years designing durable process equipment that earns its keep through steady, repeatable performance and a practical engineering approach proven on real plant floors. Operators throughout Hudson County and the surrounding region turn to RDP for precise, reliable systems that remain simple to run and easy to service year after year.
Custom Engineering & Process Equipment Support Serving Jersey City
Jersey City sits on one of the most intensely developed waterfronts in the country, where treatment and conveyance infrastructure has to function on tight sites wedged between dense high-rise growth, the Hudson River, the Hackensack River, and Newark Bay. Much of the older city is served by a combined sewer system, and the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority is working through a long-term control plan under NJDEP to curb combined sewer overflows into the surrounding tidal waters. Add coastal storm surge exposure, which shut down large stretches of the waterfront during Superstorm Sandy, and the engineering demands here are unusually steep. RDP Technologies brings over 45 years of custom process equipment engineering to capital projects across Hudson, Bergen, Essex, and the neighboring northern New Jersey counties.
Handling design, fabrication, and controls programming in-house lets us fit equipment to existing tankage, cramped urban footprints, and the way plant staff actually work, instead of dropping a stock package onto a site that cannot accept it. Our control platforms tie cleanly into SCADA and satisfy the detailed reporting that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and EPA Region 2 expect.
From first scoping through startup and years of follow-on support, we deal directly with municipal engineers, consulting firms, and operations crews. Durable equipment, steady process results, and no-nonsense technology that holds up are the ideas driving every project we take on. For Jersey City facilities, that means one accountable manufacturer designing, building, and standing behind the equipment over its full service life.

Lime Slaking & Feed Systems for Jersey City Water Treatment Facilities
Jersey City draws its drinking water from the Boonton and Split Rock reservoirs up in the Rockaway River watershed in Morris County, with treatment handled at the Boonton facility and day-to-day water operations run under contract by Veolia. That upland surface water carries relatively low hardness and alkalinity, so pH control and corrosion management do much of the heavy lifting in producing stable finished water. The point became concrete during the authority's lead service line replacement work, where corrosion control chemistry is central to protecting an older distribution system. Consistent, accurate lime feed underpins that chemistry, and RDP builds lime slaking and feed systems engineered to deliver it reliably.
Tekkem slakers rely on load cell measurement to blend a weighed charge of quicklime with a weighed charge of water, keeping the reaction inside the established 180°F to 190°F band. Working from weight rather than volume, the system doses with real precision and lets crews set slurry strength anywhere from one to thirty percent as conditions require.
With no hardware swap, the same Tekkem unit operates as a hydrated lime feed system, a useful hedge as lime availability and cost move around the greater New York metro market. A recirculating slurry loop with pinch valve and flow meter control places accurate dosing wherever a facility needs it, and because only one moving part sits inside the reaction tank, upkeep stays minimal and predictable on around-the-clock duty.

Biosolids Storage & Precision Truck Loading Systems
Wastewater from Jersey City and much of the surrounding Hudson County corridor is conveyed to regional treatment, where the dense population base translates into steady, high-volume biosolids output. New Jersey offers limited in-state land application, so that material largely leaves the region by truck for out-of-state disposal and reuse, which puts a premium on storage and loadout equipment that keeps a demanding hauling schedule intact. Weather across the northern New Jersey waterfront only adds to the challenge, from summer heat to coastal winter storms. RDP Technologies engineers biosolids storage systems and precision truck loading systems that automate the whole path from dewatering to the departing truck.
Live bottom bin storage uses moving floor technology to keep tacky sludge cake advancing steadily, sidestepping the bridging and rat-holing that stall conventional steep-sided hoppers. The precision truck loading system handles cake loadout on its own, closing out most loads in minutes and landing within a few hundred pounds of the target weight the operator sets.
Across three decades and close to three hundred biosolids conveying installations, the layout has been tuned to keep trailers clean, departures on time, and hands-on operator work at the bay to a minimum. Since loading proceeds without someone stationed there, Jersey City area crews can move labor to more valuable tasks around the plant. For any program running trucks out to distant land application and reuse sites, that hands-off operation lifts throughput and trims overtime.

Biosolids Lime Stabilization & Pasteurization Solutions in Jersey City, NJ
New Jersey moved early and hard on PFAS, and NJDEP's standard-setting continues to influence how residuals are handled statewide, tightening the outlook for land application and raising the appeal of Class A material that travels to more markets. RDP Technologies has supplied EPA 503 compliant lime-based systems since the day those federal rules took effect, covering both Class A biosolids treatment and Class B biosolids stabilization at plants across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Among Class A processes, EnVessel Pasteurization ranks as one of the most widely installed in the nation, with over 70 systems running today. Rather than leaning on excess lime, it combines lime with measured supplemental heat, which holds chemical use in check while dependably meeting the time, temperature, and pH thresholds that full pathogen kill demands.
Enhanced Pasteurization carries the process into a sealed sequencing batch reactor, lifting pH past 12 with lime and finishing disinfection through controlled heat. Both routes stand as proven wastewater pathogen reduction equipment, backed by published case studies and decades of municipal operating history. For Jersey City area plants sizing up capital work against NJDEP oversight and a stricter PFAS climate, they are regulator-recognized choices with deep, documented track records.

Biosolids Drying Systems for Jersey City Wastewater Plants
Because northern New Jersey residuals so often travel far to reach out-of-state disposal and reuse markets, the weight of what goes on the truck is one of the biggest costs a plant can actually influence. Drying gives facilities serving the Jersey City area a straightforward lever to shed that tonnage and reach higher-value end uses. The RDP-Fenton wastewater sludge dryer works on a repeating batch cycle, so drying time can be dialed to the swing in cake solids that comes off dewatering.
That batch approach takes upstream variability in stride, where continuous dryers tend to falter when incoming cake shifts unexpectedly. Field crews repeatedly point out how little routine attention the unit asks for once a dependable recipe is locked in.
Finished product leaves the dryer far smaller in both volume and weight, trimming trucking bills and opening doors to fertilizer, soil amendment, and energy recovery outlets around the region. Set alongside upstream RDP lime feed or storage equipment, a Jersey City area plant ends up with a single-source biosolids line sharing common controls and support. Durability and easy operation shaped the design from day one, and the installed base bears that out in real performance numbers.
