What RDP Technologies does

RDP Technologies, Inc. is a privately held industrial process equipment manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and programs controls for custom water and wastewater treatment process equipment, serving municipal water and wastewater utilities across the United States. Its product portfolio centers on four systems: Tekkem Lime Feed Systems (precision weight-based lime slaking and hydrated lime feed for pH adjustment, alkalinity management, and corrosion control), Biosolids-Lime Stabilization Systems (Class A and Class B pathogen reduction including the EnVessel Pasteurization System with 70+ installations and the Enhanced Pasteurization System in sealed sequencing batch reactors), Biosolids Storage and Truck Loading Systems (Precision Truck Loading Systems and Live Bottom Bins designed to handle heavy sludge cake without bridging or rat-holing), and RDP-Fenton Batch Drying Systems for biosolids volume and weight reduction.

The company's core technology relies on weight-based load cell precision for lime dosing (supporting 1%-30% slurry concentration), controlled supplemental heat paired with lime for Class A pathogen reduction, and proprietary moving floor bin technology for biosolids storage. All design, fabrication, and controls programming are handled in-house, with control platforms integrated into customers' SCADA systems to meet EPA 503 and state-level reporting requirements. Notable technical credentials include more than 70 EnVessel Pasteurization installations, roughly 300 biosolids conveying installations over three decades, and project references across hundreds of municipal customers nationwide.

RDP Technologies generates revenue primarily through one-time custom equipment sales tied to municipal capital project cycles, supplemented by ongoing technical support, spare parts, and professional services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, working directly with municipal engineers, consulting engineering firms, and plant operations staff from early scoping through commissioning and long-term support. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no institutional investment disclosed, no M&A activity, and no pending regulatory actions in the available data.

Core offering

RDP Technologies designs, engineers, and manufactures custom process equipment for municipal water and wastewater treatment facilities. The product line includes Tekkem lime slaking and feed systems, EnVessel and Enhanced Pasteurization biosolids treatment systems, Precision Truck Loading and Live Bottom Bin biosolids storage and conveying systems, and RDP-Fenton batch drying systems. The company also provides in-house controls programming, SCADA integration, and long-term technical support across the U.S.

Product overview

RDP Technologies offers a portfolio of precision-engineered industrial process equipment for water and wastewater treatment. The product line centers on four core systems: (1) Tekkem Lime Feed Systems — comprising the Tekkem Slaker System and Tekkem Precision Hydrated Lime System — which deliver weight-based precision dosing for pH adjustment, softening, and corrosion control; (2) Biosolids-Lime Stabilization Systems — including Advanced Lime Stabilization, EnVessel Pasteurization System, and Enhanced Pasteurization System — providing EPA 503-compliant Class A and Class B pathogen reduction; (3) Biosolids Storage & Truck Loading Systems — featuring Precision Truck Loading System and Live Bottom Bins — for automated handling, storage, and truck loading; and (4) RDP-Fenton Drying Systems for batch sludge drying to reduce volume and disposal costs. The company has recently announced an AI-related addition branded as 'RDP and the AI Revolution' for the Tekkem line. All systems are backed by integrated controls and SCADA compatibility for municipal water and wastewater facilities.

Products and services

• Tekkem Lime Feed Systems Engineered for precision and reliability, Tekkem lime feed systems deliver consistent dosing for water and wastewater treatment applications. Designed for low maintenance and maximum efficiency with weight-based load cell control, supporting the Tekkem Slaker System and Tekkem Precision Hydrated Lime System. Used by municipal water utilities for pH adjustment, alkalinity management, corrosion control, and lime softening.
• Biosolids-Lime Stabilization Systems Stabilization systems providing effective solutions for pathogen reduction and odor control. Built for durability and compliance, streamlining biosolids processing while improving safety and operational efficiency. Includes Advanced Lime Stabilization Systems, EnVessel Pasteurization System, and Enhanced Pasteurization System for EPA 503 compliant Class A and Class B biosolids treatment. Used by municipal wastewater utilities.
• Biosolids Storage & Truck Loading Systems Systems designed for seamless integration to handle, store, and transport biosolids while minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput, cleanliness, and environmental control. Includes the Precision Truck Loading System (automated loading within a couple hundred pounds of target weight) and Live Bottom Bins (moving floor technology to prevent bridging and rat-holing). Used by municipal wastewater facilities.
• RDP-Fenton Drying Systems Advanced drying technology that reduces biosolids volume, lowers disposal costs, and enhances material handling with consistent results, energy-efficient performance, and robust design. Operates on a repeating batch cycle that handles variable dewatering cake quality and produces a dried product usable for fertilizer, soil amendment, and energy recovery markets. Used by municipal wastewater utilities.

Direct peers

• Schwing Bioset: Schwing Bioset manufactures biosolids processing and material handling equipment for municipal wastewater plants, including shafted and shaftless screw conveyors, piston pumps, and pasteurization systems. It is the most direct competitor to RDP's biosolids conveying, storage, and paste association products.
• Huber Technology: Huber Technology (a subsidiary of Wilo) is a leading manufacturer of water and wastewater treatment equipment including sludge dewatering, screening, and biosolids handling systems. It directly competes with RDP in biosolids processing equipment for municipal wastewater utilities.
• Komline-Sanderson: Komline-Sanderson specializes in biosolids drying, pasteurization, and dewatering equipment for municipal and industrial wastewater applications. Its Paddle Dryer and biosolids processes directly compete with RDP-Fenton drying systems and lime-based pasteurization.
• Andritz Separation: Andritz provides centrifuges, belt presses, and drying systems for biosolids management, serving many of the same large municipal wastewater utilities that RDP targets. Competes in the dewatering-upstream and biosolids drying/handling segments adjacent to RDP's loadout and drying systems.
• BDP Industries: BDP Industries designs and builds dewatering, thickening, and drying equipment for municipal biosolids, including belt filter presses and screw presses. Its drying and dewatering portfolio overlaps with RDP's RDP-Fenton drying and biosolids handling systems.
• Smith & Loveless: Smith & Loveless manufactures a broad range of municipal and industrial water/wastewater treatment equipment, including pump stations, headworks, and packaged treatment systems. It is a longer-tenured US manufacturer serving the same municipal customer base as RDP.

Emerging players

• Therma-Flite: Therma-Flite specializes in indirect heat screw conveyor dryers for biosolids and industrial sludges. Its drying technology competes with RDP-Fenton in the biosolids volume reduction market, though it is more focused on industrial and niche applications.

Broad incumbents

• Parkson Corporation: Parkson Corporation provides water and wastewater treatment equipment including Densadeg, Aerostrip, and biological treatment systems for municipal customers. It is a broader incumbent in municipal water/wastewater equipment, overlapping with RDP at the utility customer level but not directly in lime feed or biosolids.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Veolia Water Technologies (and its legacy USFilter/Wallace & Tiernan brand) is a major global supplier of municipal and industrial water treatment equipment, including lime handling systems that historically competed with RDP's Tekkem line. It is a broad incumbent across the same customer base.

Regional players

• Kemira: Kemira manufactures water treatment chemicals and coagulant/pH-adjustment chemistry for municipal drinking water and wastewater utilities. While primarily a chemicals supplier rather than equipment manufacturer, it competes with RDP's lime feed systems indirectly via alternative coagulant chemistry sold to the same utility customers.
