Abstract
Systems and methods for recovering clarified water and by-products from hydrovac waste or other slurry waste include a receiving unit for receiving the waste; a processing unit for separating coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and raw water within the waste; and a water clarifying unit for removing ultrafine suspended solids and solid particles from the raw water to yield clarified water.
Claims18
A system for recovering clarified water and by-products from hydrovac waste or other slurry waste comprising:
- a receiving unit for receiving the waste;
- a processing unit for separating coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and raw water within the waste;
- and
- a water clarifying unit for removing ultrafine suspended solids and solid particles from the raw water to yield clarified water.
A method for recovering clarified water and by-products from hydrovac waste or other slurry waste, the method comprising:
- providing a system comprising:
- a receiving unit for receiving the waste;
- a processing unit for separating coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and raw water within the waste;
- and
- a water clarifying unit for removing ultrafine suspended solids and solid particles from the raw water to yield clarified water;
- unloading the waste from a hydrovac truck into the receiving unit configured for receiving the waste;
- transferring the washed waste to the processing unit for separating coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and raw water within the waste;
- and
- transferring the raw water to the water clarifying unit for removing the ultrafine suspended solids and the solid particles from the raw water to yield the clarified water.
