(i.e., any water coming into contact with the facility or facilities producing concrete or ready-mix concrete or any water coming into contact with sludge or waste concrete); • "surface water". The definition for "surface water" has the same meaning as in the Sewerage System Regulation, B.C. reg. 326/2004.
Wastewater treatment plant for the Ready-mix Concrete Industies. In these plants waste water gets generated through Washing of Ready-mix Trucks and from the other washing processes applied in the plant. The dirty water is collected & first sent to a Separator Screw. Here the aggregates is separated from the dirty water.

Emvees has an enviable track record in treating the wash water from ready mix concrete units, establishing Emvees as a forerunner in this field. Emvees offers recycling systems to rid the waste stream of chromium, which makes the treated water reusable. The treatment also includes specialized AFM filtration, UF, and an RO plant, …
Demolition. To recycle concrete, the concrete must first be broken and removed from the existing pavement—i.e., the demolition of concrete foundations, driveways, sidewalks, and other concrete …
Water Flow is controlled by designing, specifying and constructing the final levels of the concrete pavements to achieve the desired water runoff through changing the pavement levels when laying the concrete. As a guide; For Contaminated areas 1:100 to 1:200 (max) design falls. For Dirty or Clean areas 1:200 design falls.
Therefore, both US Environmental Protection Agency and European Environmental Agency have adopted legislation that classify the waste of ready - mix concrete at 11.5 pH, …
A representative waste wash-water sample (400 L) was collected from a basin in a ready-mix concrete company. A pilot plant on the lab scale was fabricated and installed. The treatment system consisted of a concrete washout reclaimer, wedgebed slurry settling pond, slow sand filtration unit, and a neutralization unit.
Disposal of waste water from Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) operations is a great concern of the ready-mixed concrete producers. Most of the traditional disposal systems are no longer environmentally acceptable. Alternative solution is to recycle the waste water and use it as batch water to make fresh concrete. Research and the experience of the …
It is the only self-cleaning filter (non-clogging) on the market. This is ALAR's flagship model that works best for precast and ready mix producers dealing high return rates, color, and high strength concrete. The Auto-Vac® is best for activated concrete; available in sixteen filter sizes for virtually any volume of concrete slurry water.
Concrete Water Recycling allows you to separate (using a screw separator) or select (using a dewatering screen) the cement residue from the water. The remaining slurry is sent to the filter press for squeezing. This reduces its volume up to 85% for easier disposal. Benefits compared with other types of plant are: Up to 85% reduced dry sludge ...
