Water & Wastewater Treatment Equipment Serving Orlando, FL
Precision lime slaking, biosolids stabilization, drying, storage, and truck loading systems engineered by RDP Technologies for Orlando and Central Florida municipal facilities.
Trusted Process Equipment for Orlando 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. Orlando-area utilities count on RDP for clean, accurate, reliable systems that are simple and easy to maintain.
Biosolids Storage & Precision Truck Loading Systems
Central Florida wastewater utilities, including City of Orlando’s Iron Bridge and Conserv I and Conserv II regional facilities along with Orange County Utilities’ Eastern, South, and Northwest plants, manage substantial daily biosolids volumes serving one of the fastest-growing metro regions in the country. Dependable storage and loadout equipment is essential to maintaining steady hauling operations through Florida’s heavy summer rain events, tourist-season demand swings, and hurricane preparations. 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 Florida’s humid year-round operating conditions, 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, Orlando-area plant staff can redirect labor toward higher-value work elsewhere in the facility. For utilities running daily hauler rotations to ranchland and citrus belt application sites, that automation directly improves daily throughput and reduces overtime costs.
Biosolids Lime Stabilization & Pasteurization Solutions in Orlando, FL
Florida’s 2020 Clean Waterways Act fundamentally reshaped biosolids land application across the state, with several Central Florida counties now restricting or banning Class B land application within their borders. This has driven significant capital investment in Class A treatment technology across the Orlando metro region. 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 throughout Florida.
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 combines lime addition with controlled supplemental heat, hitting the time, temperature, and pH thresholds required for full pathogen kill without the heavy lime overdosing that other lime-only Class A approaches demand.
Enhanced Pasteurization runs the cycle inside a sealed sequencing batch reactor where lime drives pH above 12 and controlled heating completes disinfection. Both pathways operate as proven wastewater pathogen reduction equipment, backed by published case studies and decades of operational data from municipalities nationwide. For Orlando-area facilities planning capital upgrades against the Clean Waterways Act, county-level restrictions, and tightening FDEP requirements, these are regulator-recognized options with strong long-term track records.
Lime Slaking & Feed Systems for Orlando Water Treatment Facilities
Orlando Utilities Commission and Orange County Utilities operate water treatment facilities drawing primarily from the Floridan Aquifer, where the naturally hard groundwater requires careful pH adjustment, softening, and corrosion control before reaching customers across the rapidly expanding Central Florida service area. Lime feed plays a central role in maintaining distribution stability and meeting Lead and Copper Rule targets across one of the fastest-growing utility regions in the country. RDP Technologies designs lime slaking and feed systems engineered for the precision and reliability that high-volume Florida 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 Florida and the broader Southeast. 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 Florida’s tourism-driven peak demand seasons and year-round operating intensity.
Custom Engineering & Process Equipment Support Serving Orlando
Water and wastewater infrastructure across the Orlando metro region has expanded continuously to keep pace with one of the highest sustained population growth rates in the country, while also handling the operational demands of major theme park developments and a year-round tourism economy. Treatment facilities must operate through hurricane events, heavy summer rainfall, and the constant capacity pressure that comes with rapid suburban development. RDP Technologies brings over 45 years of custom process equipment engineering experience to capital projects across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and Lake 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 Florida DEP, EPA Region 4, and local utility operations groups.
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. Orlando-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 Orlando Wastewater Plants
As Florida counties continue tightening Class B land application restrictions and Central Florida hauling logistics put pressure on disposal costs, biosolids drying systems have become a strategic capital investment for Orlando-area wastewater plants planning for the next two decades of operations. 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 Florida and the broader Southeast region. Pairing the dryer with upstream RDP lime feed or storage equipment gives Orlando 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.
