Liquid Waste Solidifier
* Turns liquid waste into a solid * 40 lbs of LWS will solidify 1 TON of liquid waste * Save money on disposal costs by turning watery sludge into a solid * Pay for solid waste disposal not liquid waste disposal Description: LWS is a non-toxic granular product designed to absorb water and aqueous solutions. The product swells to form a tight gel that holds water molecules even under pressure. Use: LWS is used to solidify sludges thus allowing them to be taken to landfill as a solid. Toxicity: LWS is non toxic. It is one of a family of products that has undergone extensive testing for applications ranging from agriculture to personal hygiene. This product is not regulated by DOT or TDGR and is not listed under SARA section 313. Easy to use: LWS comes in 24oz shakers, 40 lb bags or 2,000 lb bulk supersacs. Add directly to the water/sludge to be solidified and agitate. Economical: The disposal cost of solid waste is far less than at a liquid waste facility. By using LWS to convert liquid waste to a solid the cost of dumping sludges and other liquids can be reduced by as much as 50% (after including the cost of LWS).
