Concrete Washout Water Management

Matec’s Concrete Water Recycling (CWR) plant offers an efficient solution for managing concrete washout water, addressing the needs of construction sites by removing surplus water from washing cement mixers, pumps, and buckets. When paired with Disol 5000 (grease trap), the system also manages water derived from cleaning truck wheels and tires as they exit construction sites. This integrated approach ensures that wastewater is treated effectively, improving overall site safety and efficiency.

Maximize the Returns of Concrete Production Sites

Concrete washout water management is essential for maintaining both operational efficiency and environmental compliance at concrete production sites. By using Matec’s CWR plant, companies can reduce their disposal costs by as much as 85%, thanks to the plant’s ability to minimize dry sludge. Additionally, this technology enables the recovery and reuse of wash water, allowing companies to reuse valuable resources and lower operational expenses.

What is Concrete Washout?

Concrete washout refers to the wastewater that remains after cement is washed away from equipment such as ready-mix trucks and mixers. This water contains cement residue, which must be managed carefully to prevent environmental contamination. Concrete Washout Recycling is a sustainable solution that allows you to safely dispose of this waste while recovering usable water and materials. With the help of a screw separator or dewatering screen, the cement residue is separated from the water, and the remaining slurry is sent to a filter press to reduce its volume.
