Most solutions include one or more of these components: 

• Rapid Settlement Systems use inclined plate clarifier technology to treat the water with minimal ongoing maintenance

• Filter Presses produce very clean water and dry sludge cakes.  They do require more ongoing maintenance than our RSS Systems

• Slurry Silo products are effective in a variety of settings.  They are used to treat water prior to city drain and for complete water reuse

SOLUTIONS FOR SLURRY WATER

Recycling water in stone and granite shops is our wheelhouse - it's how Full Circle Water got started in the business many years ago and they just keep getting better.

With hundreds of systems still running virtually trouble free after years of service, we’re confident that they can find a solution for your stone and granite fabricating business. In addition to gaining a competitive edge by positioning yourself as an environmentally friendly company, recycling your water can save you hefty fines for non-compliance of city, state, and federal regulations.  There is also a tremendous cost savings on your decreased use in municipal water.

If you have an existing operation, or are just setting yourself up we can help make the transition go as smoothly and efficiently as possible.  No matter where you are in your process though, we want to help because we do this every day and there will likely be some questions we will ask or suggestions we may have that you might not have considered.

Part of the cost effective solution lies in the planning phase by making sure we have a complete understanding of your needs.

The settling of stone, granite, glass and water requires space and time.  Each particle has a rate of settling – the farther the particle needs to settle the longer it takes to settle.

The efficiency and speed of settling can be increased by injecting polymers (products/chemical treatment) into the waste stream which increases the size of the particles by attracting and bonding the individual particles together.

Settling efficiency can also be increased by adjusting fluid dynamics of the water and by increasing settling surface area and settling time.  Settling Ponds, Silos (Products/RS Tower), lamella clarifier, inclined plate clarifier and Rapid Settlement Systems (products/RSS) all enhance settling.

Filtration systems require a physical barrier that will not allow particles of a certain size to pass through.  Particle size is measured in microns.  The human eye can see down to approximately 50 micron.  Suspended solids in water typically are measured down to .1 micron and up to about 150 microns.

Various types of filter media are used including cloth, a bed of sand, modules, etc.

The most common industrial wastewater filtration systems are typically plate and frame press (filter presses) or rotary vacuum drum equipment.  Pressure drops from 1 side of the barrier to the next indicate when the filter load has been maxed and cleaning or replacing needs to take place.
