Proposed regulations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) forced the automotive industry to seek alternatives to landfilling of paint sludge. Companies serving the automotive industry developed unique processes to manage paint sludge, but the EPA did not cooperate. The final regulations were relaxed and paint sludge continued to be landfilled. Now the service industry is offering cost-effective alternatives, including converting the paint sludge to a solid fuel for use as a coal substitute. The key feature is more effective dewatering at a low cost.
