Ellicott Dredge Technologies (EDT), originally known as Moulton Irrigation Company, was founded in the 1960’s and early in the 1970’s was acquired by the principals of Bonestroo, Rosene Anderlik and Associates, a consulting engineering firm. The company expanded into liquid manure handling in 1983 and phased completely out of the irrigation business in 1984 leaving the core, Mud Cat products, focu
sing on environmental sludge handling equipment. EDT concentrated on the manufacturing of their wastewater lagoon / pond dredges and remote controlled lagoon pumpers, robotic submersible and track driven pumper crawlers, rail car and tanker truck cleaning systems, digester and tank cleaning systems and custom systems for removal, agitation, transfer or land application of solids bearing liquids. EDT manufactures direct injection and spray equipment for high volume, cost effective land applications and bio-solids for municipalities, industry and agriculture. EDT makes equipment available for rental with option to purchase for customers who have a need for the equipment but cannot justify immediate purchase. EDT is known for its automated and radio remote controlled dredges, using Bottom Sense™ to protect pond bottoms and liners, Solids Sense™ to maintain delivery of a constant solids density, and other options such as Radio Remote Sense™, Auto Sense™, and Lateral Sense™. They are widely considered the industry’s leader in automation and remote control technology.
