Industrial and agricultural settling basins

Industrial and agricultural settling basins

Slurry lagoons, wastewater pre-settling tanks, abattoir basins, food-industry sludge lagoons. Loss of storage capacity, odour, regulatory pressure — three solutions in different proportions. The site conditions decide which one you need.

There are three solution paths for treating industrial and agricultural settling basins — often in combination. The choice is not a matter of taste: the homogeneity of the sludge, the inorganic contaminant load and the regulatory environment together dictate it.

Three solution paths

  • Purely biological treatment — where the contents are homogeneous organic matter (slurry, food-industry sludge). Reduces volume, neutralises odour, executable during ongoing operation.
  • Purely mechanical extraction — where the sludge is dense or loaded with inorganic contaminants. Hydromechanical pumping with on-site dewatering.
  • Combined solution — the most common. Biological treatment first on the active upper layer, then dredging of the compacted lower layer.

Typical use cases

Livestock farms, abattoirs, food industry, wastewater treatment plants, industrial pre-treatment.
