Did you know you can save a great deal of money and increase your operating efficiency when you dewater your liquid waste materials? It is possible to cut your costs drastically but what kind of dewatering container should you use? Here are some helpful tips to aid you in your search.
What Are Dewatering Systems?
The principle behind dewatering is simple. You take in liquid waste material and filter out the liquids. This reduces the volume and weight of your waste, saving you money. However, not all water removing systems are the same.
How the Best Systems Work
The best dewatering container is easy to remove, deliver and setup. It is simply rolled off the delivery truck. These roll-off containers are slid into place, and they stay put. You do not have to worry about wheels rolling, and they will not move.
Your waste drain connects to a polymer injecting unit. This equipment injects the right amount of polymers into the liquid waste material. The polymers cause the waste to flocculate or form into clumps, and it greatly simplifies and speeds up the process of filtration.
The dewatering container is connected to the polymer injecting unit with an easy to connect and disconnect the hose. In fact, the process is fast and simple and only takes one person. Once connected, liquid waste enters the unit and a single unit can process 260 gallons or more of waste per minute.
Paint Filter Test
Make sure your processing unit can produce solid waste capable of passing the paint filter test. This test is an EPA standard which shows the presence of free liquids in solids. The best dewatering systems produce liquid waste which is safe enough to dump into the local sewer system. With the right disposal system in place, you have one less thing to worry about.
