HYDROSTOP’s agitation phase is an important step in the process of treating the wastewater generated by concrete production. The purpose of this phase is to agitate the suspended solids contained in the wastewater generated by the recycling of fresh concrete. The purpose of this agitation is to maintain the homogeneity of the mixture.
The process begins with the transfer of the charged water to HYDROSTOP’s agitated tanks. This equipment generally uses agitation mechanisms, such as agitators or stirring systems, to stir the charged water and facilitate homogenization.
Agitating the water breaks down the bonds between the various particles, keeping them suspended in the liquid. This then facilitates pumping for transfer to production or to a filtration/dewatering stage.
Once the mixture has been homogenized, the water can be used either directly in production, depending on the level of TSS measured, or pumped for transfer to a dewatering system.
The agitation process enables the loaded water to be transferred without the need for space-consuming settling tanks or costly handling operations.
To sum up, HYDROSTOP’s agitation phase is an essential step in the process of treating wastewater from concrete production. It enables optimized water management, an essential first step in the proper management of sludge from fresh concrete recycling.
