Full Circle - Decanting Slurry Silo
The Decanting Silo was designed for customers on a budget that have needs up to 20 gpm. The simple, yet effective design utilizes polypropylene tanks with center feed technology and our proprietary polymers for faster settling. Proper settings and once a day purging will help this system run with little maintenance or trouble.
- Turnkey solutions with integrated HMI and controls
- Many options available as add ons to the system including
- Pit stirrers, pumps, chemical feed equipment, filter presses, sludge dewatering bags, and pH balancing.
- Full automation available
- Simple to use
- Virtually no downtime
- Galvanized, 2 part epoxy, and stainless options
- Decants a wide range of slurry
- Can be paired with sludge skids or filter presses for dewatering the accumulated sludge
Slurry Silo’s are used extensively in the Concrete and Stone industries. The silos are designed to separate sludge and solids from water via decanting. The slurry is pumped from your pit into the top center collection chamber where polymers can be added and mixed to greatly increase water clarity. The concrete and stone fines fall towards the bottom cone as the water moves down and around the center feed tube. As the water rises up the vertical sidewalls the smaller particles slowly settle out until the clarified water spills over the top output tray on its way to a collection tank to be reused in your processes. The towers are designed to minimize plugging and facilitate cleaning and purging of collected solids.
There are very few moving parts ensuring reliable and simple operation. The Slurry Silo’s are designed to require very minimal time on maintenance or cleaning. When used in conjunction with a filter press, water clarity can be greatly improved. The Slurry Silo reduces filter press downtime exponentially and extends press runs between cycles.
These systems work great on their own with our skid mounted sludge bags. Sludge collects in a specially-designed porous bag where the remaining water weeps out. Once the bag is full, it can be removed by a forklift. The Slurry Silo also works well as a pre-treatment for water that will ultimately go through a filter press. We are happy to integrate the Decanting Silo with existing equipment.
