Stormwater runoff for steel scrapyard
Stormwater runoff for steel scrapyard
(OP)
Hello,
My company is building a 5000 sq m concrete slab for a steel recycling yard to put their -outdoor- stockpile on.The pile grows to approx 10000 tonnes before being shipped out.
All runoff goes to one point at which I am looking at a sand trap for oil and some kind of filter for rust colour.
Any ideas are welcome - I'm trying to keep the system as simple as possible so that maintenance by the scrapyard workers is easily done.Discharges to local stream.

RE: Stormwater runoff for steel scrapyard
Additionally, rust - as a precipitant, can be easily flocculated using a chitan lactose solution - like 2-6oz per 20,000 gallons, and removed by rapid sand filtration - Orenda again has the product and one of the least expesnive suppliers. Worth the call to get the info and discuss your situation. Dick Kersey can be reached at 800-322-1648 also. Good luck.
