Industrial Waste — Transport and Disposal

industrial waste transportation services depend on the waste being transported. Industrial waste can be transported via tankers, dewatering boxes, air movers, or even simpler roll-off boxes. Talk to your industrial waste removal professionals if you are unsure of how to transport a specific type of material.

Otherwise known as a 'vacuum tanker', vacuum trucks are commonly used to handle large-scale liquid and sludge clean up, one example being sewer and septic system maintenance. Vacuum trucks can be used in industrial and municipal settings to suction water and debris left from hydro-excavation or drilling jobs and to clear mud to free up utility lines or prevent sewer system overloads.

Similar to a shop vacuum, a vacuum truck is fitted with a holding tank from which air is removed by a powerful pump to create a vacuum inside. When primary and secondary shutoff valves from suction hoses are opened, the tank is forced to equalize the pressure inside, thereby enabling the truck to suck up liquids and sludges.
