Haulage And Disposal Of Waste
Mantank's Dewatering and Waste Reduction Treatments provide a cost effective and environmentally friendly method of reducing the amount of waste requiring disposal. The role of the modern day Filter Press is to remove the filtrate from the sludge and change it into a dry filter cake. The filtrate can either be reused onsite or disposed of to drain. This will significantly reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of and reduce disposal costs.
Example:
A customer has 100ton of liquid waste to dispose of, off site, of which only 10% may be solid material with the remaining 90% filtrate. With the use of mobile dewatering equipment 90ton of filtrate can be recycled back to plant, rather than tankering 100ton of liquid off site. Currently most liquid waste is disposed of in liquid form by mobile tankers for disposal either to a treatment centre or suitable landfill site.
Pre Process:
Initially one of our dewatering experts will visit your site and carry out a site survey where a sample of the liquid waste will be taken and tested to ensure the waste can be filtered. It will also determine the quality of the filtrate and dryness of solid filter cake.
This process can be carried out in our laboratory or at your premises using our Test Filter Press. Once this has been completed calculations can be made and a full proposal submitted to the client.
The Process:
Mantank operate fully mobile and self-contained 1300mm2 membrane type Filter Presses. Each press has 80 chambers, providing a cake drop capacity of approx 3.5m3 per cycle. Given that on some products a cycle can be completed in one hour, the units have the capability to handle and process up to 30m3 of sludge per hour.
Our Mobile Filter Presses are available either for short term or long term hire. Used for short term contracts our mobile presses will arrive manned, with power as a completely self contained unit.
