Water & Wastewater Treatment Equipment Serving Salt Lake City, UT
Precision lime feed, biosolids stabilization, drying, storage, and truck loading systems engineered by RDP Technologies for Salt Lake City-area municipal facilities.
Trusted Process Equipment for Salt Lake City Water & Wastewater Plants
For something on the order of 45 years, RDP Technologies has turned out equipment that takes a beating, runs dependably, and rests on practical engineering that simply does its job. Operators up and down the Wasatch Front trust RDP for accurate, hard-wearing systems that ask for little once they are in.
Lime Slaking & Feed Systems for Salt Lake City Water Treatment Facilities
Salt Lake City pulls much of its drinking water from snowmelt running out of the Wasatch canyons, City Creek and the Cottonwoods among them, treating it at canyon-mouth plants before it heads down to the valley. Mountain water this clean leans on lime more for pH correction and corrosion control than for heavy softening, and RDP turns out lime slaking systems and lime feed systems exact enough for that careful kind of dosing.
Load cells sit at the heart of the Tekkem lime slakers for water treatment, weighing out quicklime against water so the slaking reaction holds where the chemistry runs clean. Weighing the charge this way is what gives precision lime dosing systems their accuracy, letting a plant set slurry strength to just what its pH and corrosion goals require. Even soft snowmelt shifts with the season, so dependable dosing keeps the treated water on target as canyon flows rise and fall.
Swap nothing mechanical and the same Tekkem rig becomes a hydrated lime feed system, so Salt Lake City can adapt as lime supply and pricing change. Metered valves on a recirculating loop hold the feed accurate at every application point in the plant. The reaction tank runs on a single moving part, holding maintenance to a minimum and making it easy to plan, even where the plant operates nonstop.

Biosolids Lime Stabilization & Pasteurization Solutions in Salt Lake City, UT
With the Great Salt Lake under stress and tighter nutrient limits now shaping discharges to the Jordan River, biosolids decisions around Salt Lake City carry real regulatory weight. RDP Technologies has handled lime-based treatment of this sort since EPA 503 first laid out the rules. The RDP biosolids lime stabilization line moves from routine Class B biosolids stabilization up to Class A biosolids treatment for utilities after a cleaner product they can place more freely.
EnVessel Pasteurization is one of the most-used Class A processes in the country, with more than 70 systems now installed and operating. It works by combining a metered lime dose with added heat in place of heavy over-liming, meeting the time, temperature, and pH targets that complete pathogen kill demands while keeping reagent costs reasonable.
Where a fully closed process is called for, Enhanced Pasteurization runs it inside a sealed reactor, lime taking pH past 12 while controlled heat sees disinfection through. Both stand up as proven wastewater pathogen reduction equipment, each with a thick stack of case studies and field results behind it. For Salt Lake City facilities planning their next capital push, both routes already pass muster with Utah DEQ and EPA.

Custom Engineering & Process Equipment Support Serving Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City just rebuilt its main water reclamation facility almost from the ground up, a roughly billion-dollar response to tighter nutrient limits and the push to protect the Jordan River and Great Salt Lake. Work at that scale is exactly where RDP Technologies fits, drawing on a custom process equipment engineering history that goes back over four decades and a service record across the Wasatch Front.
RDP keeps fabrication, controls programming, and engineering all within its own walls, which lets it match equipment to the tanks, the tight spots, and the operating habits a plant already lives with instead of dropping in a stock package. The controls hook into SCADA and produce the documentation Utah DEQ and EPA Region 8 expect from permitted facilities.
RDP stays involved from the first scoping sketch through fabrication, startup, and all the service years that follow, working alongside municipal engineers, consulting firms, and the crews who run the plant day to day. Its standards have not shifted: equipment that lasts, performance that holds, and engineering practical enough to prove out in the field. From a lone feed system to a complete biosolids train, Salt Lake City clients have one manufacturer on the hook for the result long after startup.

Biosolids Drying Systems for Salt Lake City Wastewater Plants
In an arid climate where biosolids often travel to distant land-application sites, cutting weight and volume before they leave the plant matters, and that is where biosolids drying systems start to look worthwhile for Salt Lake City plants. Working one batch at a time, the RDP-Fenton wastewater sludge dryer lets an operator match the run to the cake solids arriving from the dewatering step rather than a fixed clock.
Batch sludge drying equipment rolls with that variation, where continuous dryers tend to bog down when the upstream feed jumps without notice. Operators say the unit rarely needs hands-on time once a working recipe is set, which frees the crew up for other tasks.
What comes off the dryer is sharply lighter and far smaller in volume, paring hauling costs and opening reuse channels in soil amendment, energy recovery, and fertilizer markets across Utah and the Intermountain West. The dryer sits at the end of an integrated RDP line, linked to the lime feed and storage gear ahead of it by a single control scheme, with one company behind the entire train. Simple operation and a long service life drove the design from day one, and performance logged at installed sites bears that out.

Biosolids Storage & Precision Truck Loading Systems
At the Central Valley reclamation plant and the rebuilt Salt Lake City facility, biosolids leave the process on a steady schedule, and the loadout has to keep up through dry summer heat and cold canyon winters alike. RDP runs biosolids storage systems straight into precision truck loading systems as one continuous motion, so material goes from dewatering to the waiting truck with no hand-work at all.
A moving floor in each live bottom bin keeps dry, dense cake feeding toward the discharge where a steep-walled hopper would only bridge and rat-hole. With the precision truck loading system in charge, sludge cake truck loading runs unattended, building a full load in minutes and never drifting more than a few hundred pounds off the number the operator picks.
Hundreds of biosolids conveying equipment jobs have gone into refining a loadout that moves trucks in and out fast and clean with almost nobody at the bay. Because the loadout runs itself, Salt Lake City crews can spend their time where the plant really needs it. For utilities pushing through heavy hauling weeks, that reliability keeps the schedule moving and overtime down.
