How to deal with Paint Sludge

I use a paint battery to collect the paint sludge, and it's designed that the sludge will go down to the Sludge popl. I decided to make the sludge go down because our space is small. and our paint overspray around 200kg/day (silicone based paint)

But I have problem with sludge collecting, Basically we can use centrifuge system, but recently Centrifuge system became expensive at investment cost.
Do I have other optional sludge collection systems for reducing paint sludge?

thanks
