Industrial Applications of Dewatering: Efficiency and Resource Recovery

Dewatering is a critical process in numerous industrial applications, focusing on the removal of water from materials such as soil, sludge, and other fluids. This practice serves various purposes, including site preparation for construction, reducing waste disposal volume, and recovering valuable resources. ChemREADY, as an authorized distributor of Matec technologies, provides innovative and efficient dewatering solutions that cater to diverse industry needs.

Authorized Matec Dealer

ChemREADY, being an authorized distributor of Matec, has introduced an innovative ground-breaking technology that can help wastewater operations dewater their cleaning and wastewater by up to 85% with minimal use of flocculants and in addition, gives a return of clear water for them to reuse in their production process.

This process removes the need for all settling ponds through the use of fully automated, proprietary dewatering techniques and the use of ultra-high pressure filtration. This ultimately reduces the need for the use of flocculants and reduces manpower to nearly nothing. Ready Mix plants truely benefit from this new technology available to their industry, especially because of the extraordinarily low cost of implementation.

Why Dewatering is Essential

Dewatering applications are vital across industries for several reasons:

Site Preparation: Removing water from soil and other materials is crucial for construction, preventing instability and ensuring safe operations.
Waste Volume Reduction: Dewatering significantly reduces the volume of waste, lowering transportation and disposal costs.
Resource Recovery: Valuable resources such as clean water and reusable materials can be recovered, promoting sustainability and cost efficiency.

Choosing the Right Dewatering Method

The appropriate dewatering method depends on factors such as the type of material being processed, desired outcomes, and budget constraints. Common methods include:

Filtration: Effective for separating solids from liquids, particularly in wastewater treatment.
Centrifugation: Utilizes centrifugal force to separate materials based on density.
Vacuum-Assisted Systems: Ideal for large-scale operations needing efficient moisture removal.

Applications

Silt & Solids Removal

Aggregates like gravel and in particular sand, because of their applications, need to be washed to recover fine particles and eliminate the silt which adheres to their surfaces. Usually, the water used for sand washing can be recycled by using settling ponds in which heavier particles settle down and where they are collected from the bottom to be stocked.

Stone Cutting

In stone cutting, polishing, and finishing, water is a vital part of stone cutting and quarry operations. It helps to keep tools from overheating and reduces dust from operations. Water used in this process must be treated before it can be used again. As an authorized dealer of Matec Equipment, we’re bringing you the best equipment to facilitate that process. Matec systems are designed and manufactured for any sector that deals with waste water and silt.

Concrete Slurry

Concrete Slurry Dewatering Wastewater Management System allows our customers to take slurry from a Concrete or Stone grinding operation and process it directly and return clean water back to the grinding equipment. Utilizing a Mobile Slurry Treatment Plant to dewater while grinding saves slurry disposal costs by recycling the water back to the grinders.

Recycled Plastics

The recycling sector is the one dedicated to the recovery of material deriving from crushing processes and soil washing. The material has to be washed to remove the polluting part, decontaminating it. As a result, special tanks are used to eliminate contaminants through attrition, then the wastewater is filtrated by a filter press.

Aggregates

Matec has developed a wide knowledge in the aggregates sector, as our machines for the water treatment were born to work with aggregates, materials which are not easy to handle. This is why we created a range of machines to wash aggregates, to manage the whole process, and to guarantee the best output from the washing system and the water treatment plants.

Industrial Wastewater

Industrial Wastewater Treatment Equipment increases in importance as waste water treatment requirements become more stringent. Waste water slurry are pumped into the chambers of the filter press. Filtrate passes through the filter cloth and solids are retained. Solids collect on the cloth, forming an excellent filter cake, as if one were to intentionally pre-coat the cloth. As additional solids are pumped into the chamber, the cake continues to build until the entire chamber is full of dewatered solids. The press is then cleaned and recycled.

Mining

In the mining dewatering treatment sector, the filter press is used for the tailing and the concentrate. Coal mines have to deal with the problem of disposing of the uneconomic material, by-product of the coal production. Especially, Matec machines can dewater the waste fines suspended in water, recovering them, cleaning water and eliminating tailing ponds.
