The Spanish company, with 20 years of experience in this field, has a dredge of sludges equipment, certified by the Madariaga Official Laboratory, which allows working into ATEX-EX/PROOF areas, classified as "Zone 1 Class 2".
This equipment, which can work while the client can pursue its regular activities, has a nominal extraction performance of sludges of 60m3/h at depths of up to 8 meters.
The bottom sludge extractor breaks the mineralized sludges with a perpetual screw and it pushes the sludge out through a self-priming lobe pump. The extracted sludge is sent to the point of collection for posterior treatment in surface, since it is an electric drive equipment which is operated remotely via wireless devices.
This equipment can be associated to mobile centrifuging and filtering treatment plants depending on the kind of sludge.
The technology is offered to similar companies related with industrial cleaning works whose clients belong to chemistry, petrochemistry, pharmaceutical, agrofood, metal or nuclear industries, and interested in offer these services under commercial and/or services agreement with technical assistance, or joint venture agreement.
Advantages & innovations
This technology has the following fundamental advantages:
- Security and eficiency: remote controlled from the shore, it eliminates the presence of the dredger on-board staff, and the risks of people falling into the pools. It avoids drowning or falling into contaminated liquids. It allows working at ATEX-EX/PROOF classified areas.
- Economically competitive: The collectors don't need to stop their production, which is a direct economical benefit for the client. This is optimal for collector cleaning of refinery pools, purifiers, industrial process... Reduction of transportation costs.
- Environmentally efficient: The dried waste is the only product to be transported and the liquid phase is returned to the pool. It minimizes the risk of environmental accidents during the waste transportation.
