Sediment Management – Primary Treatment
Sediment management during dewatering projects is a necessary first step. Without the effective separation of solids from the liquid stream, all secondary treatment technologies are limited in their effectiveness and often become prematurely fouled due to sediment loading. Particulate filtering is the most common technique used to reduce Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
Managing Elevated Contaminant Concentrations – Secondary Treatment
Once suspended solids have been reduced, a secondary treatment that targets contaminants can be effectively established. When considering secondary treatment options, it is crucial to understand contaminant concentrations at your site. Secondary treatment targets soluble contaminants, which must be identified by laboratory analysis. Treatment options should be specifically designed to treat the type and concentrations of the contaminant present: i.e. air strippers, adsorption media and Reverse Osmoses, to name a few.
