Sand & Aggregate Plant Wastewater Treatment

Sand & Aggregate Plant Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater from sand and aggregate plants typically contains a high concentration of sand, fine particles, and suspended solids. Direct discharge without proper treatment may cause serious environmental impact and disrupt the stability of internal water recycling systems. KES Separation provides efficient solids control and waste treatment solutions that enable continuous operation and high-capacity processing tailored to the demands of the sand and aggregate industry.

At the front end of the system, shale shakers and high-efficiency desanders rapidly separate coarse sand and large debris, preventing pipeline blockages and reducing pump wear. In the intermediate stage, hydrocyclone desilters and decanter centrifuges perform fine particle separation, allowing clarified water to meet recycling and reuse standards.

During sludge thickening and dewatering, filter press systems convert high-moisture slurry into stackable and transportable filter cakes, significantly reducing the footprint of settling ponds and minimizing manual cleaning frequency. For large-scale production lines, modular parallel system configurations can be implemented to flexibly expand overall treatment capacity.

In terms of product advantages, KES equipment features a robust structural design capable of withstanding high abrasion and impact conditions. Critical drive components are equipped with reinforced bearings and sealing systems to ensure long-term stable operation. The skid-mounted system design allows for rapid installation, easy relocation, and future upgrades. Automated control and level interlocking functions enable synchronized operation between the production line and the wastewater treatment system, significantly improving overall plant efficiency. With this solution, sand and aggregate plants can achieve water reuse, reduce freshwater consumption, minimize solid waste discharge, and enhance environmental compliance and sustainable operations.
