SlurrySep Floc

SlurrySep is a proprietary blend of bentonite clay, polymers and pH reducing acids designed for treatment of concrete slurry.   Results are dramatic as solids quickly separate and condense on the bottom, leaving clean water for reuse or compliant discharge. SlurrySep provides rapid settling of concrete and stone slurries. 

SlurrySep eliminates multi-step processes for removing materials (solids (both suspended and colloidal), dissolved metals, and organic compounds) from wastewaters.  All SlurrySep formulas are a non-hazardous blend of sodium bentonite clay, minerals and other proprietary resources. SlurrySep offers generators of various waste streams a safe, simple, and cost-effective means for pre-treatment and disposal. In addition, SlurrySep eliminates the need for handling and storing liquid chemicals in traditional wastewater treatment systems. 

SlurrySep process can be described as follows: 

• Acidic components release and cause oily particles to de-emulsify and separate from water.

• Cationic polymers attract any remaining oil and highly charged anions.

• A base component helps precipitate metal hydroxides.

• Wastewater is now in a condition known as flocculation, where cationic molecules and metallic ions are all attracted to the clay and form larger masses.

• Clay particles begin to stick together, entrapping other components and surrounding them completely, a process known as micro-encapsulation.

• Encapsulated particles are ready to be de-watered and disposed of properly as a non-hazardous waste.

• This entire process is completed within minutes and does not require any operator intervention or “jar testing.” SlurrySep combines all components of traditional pre-treatment into one single step.

Features & Specifications 

• Non-reactive, non-hazardous (as opposed to liquid caustic and acidic coagulants).

• Packaged in 50# bags or bulk super sacks for easy storage and movement.

• Easier containment /clean-up in case of spill.

• Semi-granular and granular blends minimize exposure to fine dust.

• Can be easily introduced to a waste stream with an auger type dry feeder.

• SlurrySep combines multiple functions of traditional treatment scheme almost simultaneously, into one simple step.

• Base clays used in all SlurrySep blends are cationically charged, allowing faster precipitation and settling of metal hydroxides.

• Typical treatment time required for full reaction is less than ten minutes.

• Effective treatment on different types of waste streams with a pH of 2-12.

• Can utilize in batch or in-line treatment schemes and in most cases with existing equipment.

• Removes /lowers: heavy metals, TSS, oils and other organic /inorganic matter.

•  Several blends to accommodate various waste streams and conditions.

• Requires very little operator interface.

•  Only one product to add and maintain.

• Generate a solid waste which is microencapsulated and considered non-hazardous.

•  SlurrySep is a clay based product, which is easily pressed and dewatered.

• Clay based products are more forgiving if overdosing occurs.

• High affinity for metals, organics, and other contaminants.

• Proven technology for nearly 30 years.
