Slurry Solutions has a range of options to help you treat and dispose of slurry wastewater on-site.
SlurrySep Floc can treat the slurry by encapsulating the solids and clearing the water.
Our disposable De-watering bags can contain the solids from the slurry wastewater, while allowing the water to filter through.
SlurryDry solidifies the slurry wastewater for easy disposal.
Contact us to find out more.
Should I use SlurryDry or SlurrySep?
Our SlurrySep Flocculant works best when the solid content in the slurry wastewater is no more than 15%.
If the slurry wastewater is a thicker consistency, we recommend going straight to the SlurryDry for easy solidification.
What is the best way to control slurry wastewater on construction and building sites?
The BigDog T2000 is the perfect designated washout area solution for containing slurry onsite.
It can automate the process of treating the wastewater with our SlurrySep Flocculant for easy filtration of the water for recycling on-site; while making for easy disposal of the captured waste in our dewatering filter bags.
What is the pore size of our De-watering bags?
Our felt-lined dewatering bags have a pore size of 100-200 microns.
Our standard dewatering bags have a pore size of 200-300 microns.
our custom dewatering bags have a pore size of 90 microns.
What is the flow rate of the De-watering bags?
The felt lined dewatering bags have a flow rate of approximately 120 Liters a minute.
The standard dewatering bags have a flow rate of approximately 150 Liters a minute.
Our custom dewatering bags have a flow rate of approximately 150 Liters per minute.
