Solids Seperation Technology

Extract more solids, nutrients, and contaminates to be extracted from the water - Faster!

The Manure Management Issue

US farmers need an economical and effective means of managing the nutrients, contaminants, and odors present in livestock manure slurries in order to overcome growing environmental concerns, large hauling costs, and strict government regulations.

The Solution

Implement an improvement measure whereby the processes used to separate the liquids from the solids, nutrients, and contaminants incorporates a solids separation agent that maximizes the efficiency of the separation process and eliminates the odors.

The Measure

The SST™ Agent instantly and continuously attaches colloidal fines (including phosphates, nitrates, sulfates, and potassium ions) to the free solids in the slurry, prior to allowing water to be released.  The result is cleaner water for field application, more solids, and better recovery of minerals/nutrients in solids.

To accomplish this, the SST™ Agent is combined with the manure prior to being separated.  Environmental regulations are forcing the need for more efficient manure treatment technologies worldwide. By making SST™ an integral part of a manure handling process, the regulations come within reach.  Existing, and complimentary bio fuel technologies can still be used in concert with the SST™ Technology.

The Dredging Handling Issue

The efficiency and capabilities of existing separation equipment used in removing the solids, nutrients, and contaminants from the liquid slurry of dredgings must be increased in order to avoid returning undesired components back into surface waters, to reduce transportation costs, and to lower potential landfill costs.

The Solution

In order improve the process and environmental impact related to dredging, implement a water quality improvement measure whereby the processes used to separate the liquids from the solids, nutrients, and contaminants incorporates a solids separation agent that maximizes the efficiency of the separation process and eliminates the odors.

The Measure

Utilize existing Solids Separation Technology (SST™) to improve the efficiency of existing separation equipment (such as dewatering drums) by allowing more solids, nutrients, and contaminates to be extracted from the water.

The SST™ Agent instantly and continuously attaches to organic colloidal fines (including PCB’s phosphates, nitrates, sulfates, and potassium ions) to the free solids in the slurry, prior to allowing water to be released.  The result is cleaner water for return to the surface water, and better handling/disposal capabilities of the separated solids.

To accomplish this, the SST™ Agent is combined with the dredgings prior to being separated.  Environmental regulations are forcing the need for more efficient dredging treatment technologies.
