Resource optimization: -80% water costs and aggregate recovery
The company needed an efficient system to manage the large quantity of sludge generated by aggregate washing and concrete production, with the goal of maximizing water recovery at a flow rate of 210 m³/h.
The technical challenges
High solid load
Management of wastewater with very high concentrations of sand and silt.
Water recovery
The need to drastically reduce water withdrawal from wells or the mains supply.
Process integration
The system had to operate in sync with the concrete batching and crushing plants.
Operational efficiency
Minimizing manual intervention while ensuring continuous operation during peak production periods.
The solution: tailor-made engineering
We installed a clarification and sludge dewatering system designed for heavy-duty applications and continuous operation:
PRX-4800/110000 Clarifier
Sized to ensure excellent clarification performance at flow rates of up to 210 m³/h.
PRX-1300/30 High-Capacity Filter Press
For intensive sludge dewatering, significantly reducing residual moisture content.
Smart Automation
Automatic level and dosing management system to keep the process consistently balanced.
Remote Monitoring
Industrial PLC-based system for continuous monitoring and control of plant performance.

Technology
Physical clarification + High-capacity filter press dewatering
Process water
Wastewater containing high concentrations of sand and silt from washing and concrete production enters the treatment system.
Solid-liquid separation
The clarifier greatly accelerates sedimentation, separating the water from suspended solids.
Sludge dewatering
The filter press transforms the sludge into dry cakes that can be easily handled.
Water ready for reuse
The clarified water is fully recovered for internal reuse, closing the loop.
Results and economic impact
-80% water supply costs
Thanks to the continuous and complete recovery of clarified water for the washing cycles.
-30% disposal costs
Achieved through a drastic reduction in sludge volume and moisture content.
Production efficiency
Elimination of waiting times for natural sedimentation and smoother operations.
Automated management
Drastic reduction in manual intervention and unplanned downtime.
