GN Solids Control recently delivered a complete Modular Hydrovac Slurry Dewatering System to an overseas client for efficient handling and treatment of hydrovac slurry generated during excavation activities. This system is specifically designed to separate solids and recover reusable water, reducing disposal volume and environmental impact.
Complete Modular Configuration
The delivered system is composed of five integrated modules, each engineered for a specific separation stage to ensure optimal dewatering performance:
🔹 Coarse Screening Module (GNLMP-1536)
The process starts with a coarse screen unit that removes large-size debris such as rocks, wood and heavy trash from incoming slurry. This step significantly reduces the burden on downstream equipment and helps maintain steady flow.
🔹 Double Deck Fine Shaker Module (GNZS596K)
Next, the slurry passes through a high-capacity double-deck shale shaker designed to remove fine solids efficiently. The dual-layer screen design maximizes throughput while maintaining effective solid-liquid separation.
🔹 Desilter Module (GNZJ594J-8N)
Equipped with multiple 4-inch hydrocyclones, this unit targets the removal of particles in the 20–40 micron range. The desilter is essential for reducing solids loading before entering the centrifuge stage.
🔹 Decanter Centrifuge Module (GNLW553D-VFD)
This high-speed VFD-controlled centrifuge performs precision separation of ultra-fine solids. With a large 22-inch bowl, the GNLW553D is ideal for heavy-duty slurry treatment and can handle high volumes while delivering excellent clarity of recovered water.
🔹 20-ft Chemical Dosing System
To improve the separation efficiency of fine and ultra-fine solids, GN Solids Control integrates a fully automated flocculant preparation and dosing unit. This module ensures stable and accurate polymer mixing and dosing, enhancing the dewatering process.
Benefits and Application
The modular design provides several advantages:
✅ Scalable & Flexible Setup – Each unit is built into standard-sized frames or containers, enabling easy transportation, on-site installation, and customization according to client needs.
✅ Efficient Dewatering – The system effectively reduces slurry volume and recovers clean water for reuse or safe discharge.
✅ Environmental Compliance – Helps clients meet environmental regulations by minimizing waste disposal and preventing pollution.
✅ Cost Savings – Reduced transportation and disposal costs through on-site treatment and fluid recycling.
