Water & Wastewater Treatment Equipment Serving Rochester, NY
Precision lime feed, biosolids stabilization, drying, storage, and truck loading systems engineered by RDP Technologies for Rochester-area municipal facilities.
Trusted Process Equipment for Rochester Water & Wastewater Plants
Going on forty-five years now, RDP Technologies has been building equipment that holds steady, keeps working, and rests on practical technology made to perform. Plants throughout western New York turn to RDP for accurate, sturdy systems that ask little of the crews running them.
Biosolids Lime Stabilization & Pasteurization Solutions in Rochester, NY
Rochester's treated flows reach Lake Ontario, and the nutrient limits that guard the lake hold the area's biosolids work to tight pathogen and nutrient rules. RDP Technologies has built lime-based treatment systems since the EPA's 503 rules took hold, and the RDP biosolids lime stabilization line works across both grades: Class B biosolids set for land application, plus Class A biosolids treatment whenever a cleaner, easier-to-place product is wanted.
EnVessel Pasteurization is one of the most established Class A processes in the country, with over 70 of them on the ground. Instead of over-liming, it blends a measured lime dose with heat, bringing time, temperature, and pH to the levels full pathogen kill needs while holding chemical use in check.
Where the work has to stay contained, Enhanced Pasteurization seals the process inside a reactor, raising pH past 12 while controlled heat sees the kill through. Both are field-proven wastewater pathogen reduction equipment, carrying a long record of installs and on-site results. For Rochester plants weighing capital work, each is a route NYSDEC and EPA have long backed.

Biosolids Storage & Precision Truck Loading Systems
Monroe County's Frank E. Van Lare plant sends biosolids out steadily on their way to reuse, and the loadout has to keep stride through long Lake Ontario winters and the wet shoulder seasons. RDP joins biosolids storage to precision truck loading in a single pass, so the load goes from dewatering to the truck with nobody touching it.
Each bin's moving floor keeps damp, heavy cake working to the gate, never bridging the way a bare steep-walled hopper does. Once the bin hands off to the precision truck loading system, the work runs with no operator on it, sludge cake truck loading sending out a full trailer in minutes and the final weight off the operator's number by no more than a few hundred pounds.
Years upon years of biosolids conveying equipment work back this loadout, which moves trucks out fast and clean with next to no one at the bay. Because loading sees to itself, Rochester crews can give their time to work that genuinely calls for them. For plants grinding through packed hauler stretches, that dependability shows as fewer hold-ups and a lighter overtime tab.

Biosolids Drying Systems for Rochester Wastewater Plants
Hauling biosolids out of the Rochester area runs up cost with the miles, so dropping weight at the plant is what puts biosolids drying systems in the picture. The RDP-Fenton wastewater sludge dryer moves through one batch cycle after the next, so an operator can fit each run to the cake solids handed over by dewatering rather than ride one fixed setting.
Batch sludge drying equipment copes with those swings without trouble, while continuous units tend to seize when the feed coming in jumps around. Crews mention that it asks for little attention once a steady recipe is dialed in, freeing the crew for the rest of the floor.
What leaves the dryer is markedly lighter and a good bit smaller, paring hauling cost and opening doors in soil amendment, fertilizer use, and energy recovery across New York and the Northeast. Set at the end of the RDP line, the dryer answers to the same control loop as the lime feed and storage gear upstream of it, the whole train backed by one source. Two things drove the design from the outset, simple running and a long service life, and the record from installed sites backs it.

Lime Slaking & Feed Systems for Rochester Water Treatment Facilities
Rochester pulls much of its drinking water from Hemlock and Canadice Lakes in the Finger Lakes, a soft, low-mineral supply where lime handles pH adjustment and corrosion control rather than softening. That work counts for even more across a system still pulling old lead service lines, and RDP manufactures lime slaking systems and lime feed systems reliable enough to keep that dosing dead-on.
Inside Rochester's Tekkem lime slakers for water treatment, load cells weigh quicklime and water before they react, holding the slaking reaction in the band that stays cleanest. Going strictly by weight is why precision lime dosing systems can be trusted, so the plant can match slurry strength to whatever pH and corrosion control demand. Even a clean Finger Lakes supply moves a little through the year, and steady feed keeps the treated water right.
With nothing swapped out, that same Tekkem rig can take over as a hydrated lime feed system, so Rochester can adjust whenever lime supply or pricing shifts. A recirculating loop with valves that meter the flow keeps feed accurate at each point it reaches. The reaction tank gets by on one moving part, which keeps upkeep modest and quick to schedule, even at a plant that never idles.

Custom Engineering & Process Equipment Support Serving Rochester
Rochester keeps putting money into its water and sewer systems, from plant upgrades at Van Lare to work along the Genesee River as it runs through downtown. Long capital programs like these are a fit for RDP Technologies, which puts forward a custom process equipment engineering record more than four decades in the making, brought to the facilities Monroe County operates.
Because RDP keeps design and build under one roof, it can build equipment around a plant's real tanks, tight spots, and settled routines instead of forcing in a stock unit. Its controls wire into SCADA and put together the documentation NYSDEC and EPA Region 2 expect from permitted sites in New York.
RDP stays on it from the opening design review through fabrication, startup, and a long working life after, alongside city engineers, design consultants, and the staff who keep each plant running. RDP's priorities have not moved: equipment built to last, performance crews can bank on, and engineering plain enough to earn its keep on the floor. Whether the job is a single skid or a full biosolids line, Rochester clients work with a single name that owns the outcome from startup onward.
