01
→Recovered Resources, Not Waste
S3S separation technology recovers usable water, oil, and other resources from contaminated fluids, brines, and process liquids, cutting disposal volumes.
The industry's most comprehensive separation fleet supported by engineering, automation, laboratory, remote monitoring, and operational expertise.
Pioneers in slurry processing, liquids/solids separation, and dewatering.
With 30+ years of experience in solids control and separation processing, we deliver complete turnkey systems from engineering to installation to operation, manned by expert field technicians.
02
→Less Waste. Lower Cost. Greater Recovery.
S3S converts slurry into solids and recovered liquids, cutting waste volume and trucking costs while meeting environmental compliance targets.
03
→Scalable Solutions, Anywhere
Modular systems deploy fast and scale from a single unit to a multi-unit operation, matching any flow rate or solids load without crowding the site.
04
→Technology, Expertise & Execution
S3S pairs one of North America’s most capable separation equipment fleets with engineers, lab technicians, and field crews, delivering the right technology and the people to run it.
EnergyFor drilling operators and completions teams. We run solids control and fluid recovery as one field service: drilled solids out, usable fluid back in circulation, performance documented daily. The fluid keeps working and the well keeps moving.Explore energy →Deep Foundations & Ground ImprovementFor GCs and deep foundation contractors. We dewater spoils, from TBM slurry to jet grout spoils, in real time on site, even in busy urban areas. You truck off less waste and eliminate downtime.Explore deep foundations →Tunnelling & MicrotunnellingFor TBM, microtunnelling, and HDD crews. We separate slurry and spoils right at the portal and keep bentonite and polymer circulating at the density the machine needs. Muck handling never sets your advance rate.Explore tunnelling →DredgingFor dredging contractors and municipalities. We dewater dredge spoil and contaminated sediment at the water's edge, from biosolids lagoons to tailings and storm ponds. Clear water goes back to the waterbody and sediment leaves dry, stackable, and ready to pass criteria for dry disposal.Explore dredging →Marine & WaterfrontFor marine construction and waterfront remediation crews. We fit modular separation into the deck space you actually have, return clear water to the waterway, and send solids off dry and load-ready, with documented proof of what left the site.Explore marine & waterfront →Industrial & MunicipalFor plant, facility, and municipal managers. We turn hydrovac slurry, tank and vessel cleanings, wastewater, and mining slurry into reusable process water, recovered product, and dry stackable solids, with lab-backed proof it meets your discharge and disposal criteria.Explore industrial & municipal →

Your project. Your questions. Clear answers.
What you need to know about our equipment, capabilities, and support before getting started.
Can my crew run your system?
Yes. We offer equipment rentals with on-site training to get your crew operating confidently and competently. Prefer a fully operated package? Our experienced technicians can run the system for you. Choose the level of support that fits your operation.
Why not just purchase the equipment?
Buying equipment is only the first step. Reliable separation takes skilled operators, preventive maintenance, and ongoing adjustments as conditions change. S3S brings the equipment, expertise, and service support together, helping you maintain performance and minimize downtime without taking on ownership and maintenance.
Has S3S processed this kind of slurry before?
With more than 30 years of separation experience across North America, we’ve handled a wide range of slurries and demanding site conditions. We draw on that experience to match your project with the right equipment and specialists, bringing proven knowledge directly to your site.
Can S3S scale to fit my project?
Our modular systems scale to your project’s volume, flow rate, duration, and site requirements. Share your scope and we’ll recommend a setup that makes financial sense.
Can your system meet my effluent requirements?
We tailor the separation process to your project’s effluent targets, whether for on-site reuse, permitted sewer discharge, or off-site disposal. We assess your slurry and required specifications upfront to establish a practical treatment approach.
Proven in the field.
Built to perform
at any scale.
Strategically located field shops enable rapid deployment across North America.
Custom separation packages tailored to your solids control and dewatering needs. All equipment is wet tested and inspected before deployment.
Field operations
Planned servicing to OEM specifications
S3S runs a servicing program based on original equipment manufacturer specifications. Equipment is maintained on a planned schedule, which helps keep units in working order and reduces operational downtime on site.
Reliability & safety
Modular by design. Scaled to your operation.
Our separation systems combine interchangeable equipment into custom packages that scale up or down to match your job’s throughput, site constraints, and changing demands.
Fleet & scale
Recover more water. Haul less waste. Reduce your footprint.
S3S separates solids and recovers water for reuse, reducing freshwater demand, waste disposal volumes, and emissions associated with trucking.
Environmental impact
Engineered around the application, not just the equipment.
Every operation is different. Stage 3 considers the process, operating conditions, solids characteristics, fluid objectives, and desired outcome to configure a separation solution around the application, rather than simply supplying equipment.
Application Engineering
Your waste stream
is a resource.
S3S transforms high-volume slurry, drilling fluid, and wastewater into reusable water and dry, stackable solids. We deliver complete turnkey systems with in-house equipment, expertise, and field support.
Recover more fluid, cut waste hauling, and take control of your site’s waste stream with North America's largest dedicated solids control provider.
From oil and gas and construction to industrial, dredging, and municipal operations, our modular systems scale to your project and deploy across North America.
