Unloading & Transport of Municipal Sludge

Wastewater Sludge Transport / Unloading options

I am looking for information on what is currently available for unloading municipal sludge cake from dump trucks / trailers

I have an application that require 7 wet tons (30% dry solids) sludge cake be received and transferred to a storage silo per hour.

I am looking for information on bulk transport / unloading equipment that would allow sludge to be transported vapor tight (minimize odors) and be unloaded mecanicaly so the sludge would "never see the light of day".

Conventional dump trailers / live floor / hopper bottom trailers are a secondary option if a direct transfer alternative can not be found.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
