Liquid waste disposal
Disposing of liquid waste must be done responsibly to protect the environment and avoid contaminating water sources or nearby land. Lots of liquid is treated to dispose of it effectively and safely. Our liquid waste disposal services include storage, removal, and disposal away from landfill.
Once liquid waste leaves your business premises, it’s taken to a recycling facility for treatment and disposal. The method of liquid waste disposal depends on the type of waste and treatment plant. Some liquids like oil can be cleaned and reused while liquid food waste might be composted.
Methods of liquid waste disposal include:
- Dewatering – non-hazardous liquid waste can be dewatered. This process removes the water from the waste by using a centrifuge, belt filter, or plate and frame filter. These separate and leave behind solid waste, which can be recycled as compost or sent to an energy from waste plant, depending on the waste type.
- Sedimentation – also for non-hazardous waste, sedimentation has been used for thousands of years to separate liquid and solid waste. It’s common for sewage treatment as the wastewater travels through tanks with the solids rising and skimmed off the top. The remaining water is filtered and treated, while the solid waste may be recycled where possible.
- Incineration – hazardous liquid waste like chemicals and acids can be incinerated in combustion chambers, heated up to 850°C and 1150°C. This destroys the hazardous elements for a safe disposal method. It generates ash and the heat may power steam turbines to generate electricity.
- Composting – liquid food waste and some other types can be composted. Once the water is removed it can be composted and turned into organic fertilisers. Nutrients such as sodium, potassium, and nitrogen enrich the soil for a sustainable disposal option.
- Solidification – rather than removing water, this liquid waste disposal method adds fly ash, sawdust, or lime dust to turn it into a solid. With some hazardous liquid waste this can convert the contaminants into less toxic forms.

Liquid waste examples
There are many types of liquid waste that businesses in various industries produce. Wastewater is one of the most common and includes flood water, greywater, and many other examples. Liquid waste examples include both hazardous and non-hazardous fluids as well. Safe storage and disposal is vital.
These are common examples of liquid waste:
Who needs liquid waste disposal?
Businesses that produce liquid waste have a duty of care to ensure it’s managed appropriately. Organisations that generate sewage effluent or waste from manufacturing need waste liquid disposal services. Organisations that create waste oils – both edible and the motor variety – paint, chemicals, solvents, and battery acid also need liquid waste disposal.
If your business produces fluid waste, it needs to get rid of it properly – as it can’t go to landfill. This includes contaminated water removal to regular disposal of small or large amounts of unusable liquids. Some of the main industries that require liquid waste disposal include:
- Agricultural – wastewater from the land, animal feed, sludge, and more.
- Automotive – motor oil and lubricants used in garages.
- Dry cleaning – liquids containing chemicals used in cleaning products.
- Factories – all sorts of waste liquid from manufacturing processes.
- Kitchens – edible oils used for cooking, as well as kitchen cleaning products.
