The discharge of dirty water from wet screens, sand screws or classifiers has always presented numerous challenges to sand washing operations. While the use of settling ponds is typical, the method unleashes a host of disadvantages. Pond maintenance [...]
A portable wash plant operation is only as efficient as its water resource management – and when water is tight – production may often come to a halt. “If you don’t have the water, you’re not going to get [...]
In various regions, groundwater resources are in overdraft conditions with declining water levels showing slow-to-no recovery, say reports. At the same time, cities and counties often permit development and growth without considering that water resources barely supply current demands. [...]
Mechanical dewatering in dredged material management is on the rise. Driving the trend are issues such as high contaminated sediment transportation costs and low space availability at many confined disposal facilities. Clarifiers, or what the industry terms as “thickeners,” [...]
Sedimentation is the separation of suspended solids from a liquid by gravity. As solids and particles fall out of liquid suspension and settle, they become sediment. This process, often referenced as settling, is regularly used in water and wastewater [...]
Polymers, also referenced as flocculants, are regularly used in water treatment to aid solid-liquid separation. They increase the speed and efficiency of solid-liquid separation and help dewater sludge. When using polymers, it is helpful to manage variables [...]
Settling basins, lagoons, or ponds are common ways to treat wastewater with suspended solids and colloids. Over time the particles will fall out of liquid suspension through sedimentation resulting in clean water for reuse. It’s widely used because it’s [...]
