Filtering slurry from sawing stone

Filtering slurry from sawing stone

We have a customer who saw stone. They use straight water as a coolant. They pump about 100 gals per minute. The sump is about 68,000 gallons. About once a year they dig the sludge out with a backhoe.

They would be interested in talking to someone who could help them.

We sell them braze alloy for their saws. We build filter units so they asked us for help. However this operation is a couple magnitudes out of our specialty.

They are in Montana and are nice folks.

Contact me, please, if you think you can help.

Thanks,
Tom

Your application is not a filter application. You should investigate the use of a gravity plate settler. Here are some examples:

"The plate settler provides for flocculation, clarification and thickening. The clarified overflow is normally returned to the process. The sludge fraction is further thickened, stored and compressed in the tank module. The sludge discharge is by centrifugal or positive displacement pumping. If the solids are required in a transportable form a dewatering module can be added to the system."
