Chris Hubbard Promoted to PWTech Vice President

ROSEDALE, Md. (Jan. 30, 2024) – Process Wastewater Technologies LLC (PWTech), an American manufacturer of sludge handling products, has announced the promotion of Chris Hubbard to the position of vice president. In his new capacity, Hubbard will work to expand the PWTech product portfolio and market presence in the USA and Canada, as well as help streamline internal operations to improve the already outstanding customer service and support.

Since joining PWTech in 2022, Hubbard has served as the joint business development manager and regional sales manager, helping guide the company through transitions in the wastewater treatment industry precipitated by tightening environmental regulations and a greater emphasis on efficiency. Throughout his tenure, Hubbard played a major role in increasing market prevalence of the Volute™Dewatering Press, an optimized screw press that achieves both thickening and dewatering in a single compact solution, lowering dewatering operational costs.

“Not only does Chris have vision, but he also has the skills to implement and execute the strategic goals to get us there,” said Alex Davey, PWTech President. “In the ever-evolving water and wastewater industry, it’s critical to be ahead of the curve, offering support and solutions to our customers; it’s also a rapidly growing industry, and steady, manageable growth is paramount. Chris has really helped us strike a balance between growth and consistent, unmatched customer service, and I have no doubt he’ll continue to do just that as we expand our offerings and explore other technologies in addition to sludge handling and biosolids dewatering solutions.”

With more than 20 years of water industry experience, Hubbard previously served in various managerial and sales roles while co-founding a consulting business focused on flood mitigation equipment. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University and serves on many community organizations, including the Northeast Biosolids and Residuals Association board of directors, The Sewer Thermal Energy Network (STEN) board of directors, and the Narrow River Preservation Association board of directors. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his children and sailing off the coast of Rhode Island.

California dreaming on this cold Monday morning!

California dreaming on this cold Monday morning!

Another successful installation and start-up for the PW Tech Volute Press — this time in Santa Paula, CA. With its simplicity, compact size, and light weight, this installation is as simple as it gets — set it down and turn it on.

This customer went from hauling liquid WAS to producing 22% cake within minutes of start-up. Dewatering made easy #screwpress2.0

And — if you are paying attention, you will notice that this is an expandable system. Simply drop in another rotating assembly and double the capacity when you need it.

Are you ready to try the Volute press yet? Let us pilot at your plant. We’ll bring the proof to you.

Thanks to our California representative JBI Water & Wastewater for this one!

Don’t mess around with dewatering in Texas!

Don’t mess around with dewatering in Texas!

Another successful Volute Dewatering Press start-up by PW Tech, this time in Harris County Texas. This plant previously used drying beds to dewater sludge to ~7-8%TS, now dewatering using their PW Tech Volute Press to ~18% solids within an hour of starting up for the first time!

  • Increased Cake solids will greatly reduce the number of loads taken to a composting facility.
  • A fully automated process greatly reduces the labor associated with cleaning drying beds.
  • Dewatering is not impacted by seasonal conditions.

The result? Happy Operators and another successful dewatering installation. Dewatering made easy. #screwpress 2.0
A great project. Thanks to Wharton Smith Contractors and LJA Engineering!
