Chemical Dosing
The Siltbuster market leading range of Chemical Dosing Systems enables the controlled and automatic introduction of process chemicals to safely treat even the most challenging of waters. Whether it be the manipulation of pH to a user set level, the precipitation of dissolved metal species to form insoluble particles or the coagulation/flocculation of non-settling solids – Siltbuster’s Chemical Dosing Systems ensure even the most stringent of discharge levels are met and exceeded. A range of dosing and mixing solutions are readily available, tailored for various applications and sectors for optimal performance at a variety of different flows.
Our expert and experienced team are here to help guide you through the various options available and to identify the most suitable and effective chemical treatment system for your site-specific requirements. As received raw water samples are an important stage in this consultation process and they are quickly analysed by our in-house laboratory and team of environmental scientists.
Siltbuster Mix Tanks
Our mix tanks are available in a range of different sizes (MT1, MT2, MT4, MT8, MT20, MT30 and MT100) to provide the necessary contact and reaction time required for your desired treatable flowrate and contamination. All tanks incorporate integral baffles that can be changed in position to suit the treatment philosophy with the mixing of chemicals controlled via top mounted variable speed mixer motors, making these units well suited to applications where regulation of energy is paramount to the process. To remove the need for further pumping, our mix tanks can be provided with support steelwork, allowing the flocculated wastewater to gravitate naturally to the separation/settlement stage if required.
Mix tanks are typically provided as part of a complete treatment package by providing dosing prior to separation in a Lamella Settlement Unit or a DAF and are typically operated in conjunction with our Dosing Skids or Containerised Dosing Systems. Our mix tanks are cleverly multifunctional as they are also suitable to efficiently pre-treat sludge ahead of dewatering. View the Siltbuster Mix Tanks Range Profile Drawings
Typical Applications: Reaction Tanks, Final Water Quality Monitoring, Sludge Storage, Buffer Tanks
Siltbuster Integrated Chemical Dosing System - iCDS
Our iCDS has been designed for sites which require a cost effective and compact solution, yet still offers many of the benefits associated with Siltbuster’s larger containerised dosing systems.
It offers a standard 3-stage dosing system designed to dose coagulants and flocculants on a flow proportional basis. This prevents the risk of overdosing. It can also automatically adjust the pH level to enable the pH to be both increased and/or decreased. An additional Siltbuster system can easily be added providing the option for 4 stage dosing for more complex water treatment requirements.
The iCDS’ storage area is fully bunded and secured by lockable, bi-fold gates on three sides providing maximum accessibility on site during chemical replenishment, which ensures a flexible solution for any location. The fourth side of the iCDS accommodates a heated, weather-proof and secure compartment, which contains the dosing pumps, flow meter and control system.
The iCDS is capable of treating flow rates of over 100mᶾ/hr and follows the same modular principle as all of Siltbuster’s products.
The new chemical dosing system is built for rapid site deployment and has been sized to easily fit standard transport layouts. It been fitted with multiple lifting mechanism options, ensuring all site loading and unloading possibilities are catered for. View The Siltbuster Dosing Containers range Profile Drawings.
Key features: Secured Access, Rapidly Deployable, Compact, Modular Plug and Play Dosing, Low Power Requirements, Easily Adaptable to 3 or 4 Stage Dosing
Siltbuster Dosing Skid
The Siltbuster Chemical Dosing Skid comprises a space-efficient and splash proof enclosure (housing) for the storage of dosing pumps and its associated ancillary equipment provided in a range of configurations from simple flow-proportional dosing to automated polymer batching systems. These compact neat skids are provided with a bunded chemical spill tray which can be easily forklifted into position on site to ensure HSE guidelines are followed.
Dosing skids are typically provided as part of a complete treatment system and are used to meter the required process chemicals into a pipe flocculator or mix tank proportional to the incoming flowrate before separation via a lamella settlement unit or DAF. View the Siltbuster Dosing Skid Profile Drawing.
Typical Applications: Automated Flocculant Makeup, Controlled Chemical Dosing, pH Correction
Siltbuster Containerised Chemical Dosing
The Siltbuster Containerised Chemical Dosing system, available in two sizes, provides a secure and space effective means of locating a dosing system, In-Line Mixer (Pipe Flocculator), treatment chemicals and any other monitoring equipment – all within a 20 ft or a 10 ft ISO container to prevent unauthorised access and vandalism.
The Containerised Settlement Treatment system comes complete with all necessary equipment to allow: the flow proportional/pH proportional dosing of the treatment chemicals and their mixing with the water to be treated. As a plug and play package, all the dosing equipment is provided with external connections for wastewater and power. Easy access is provided by an operator access door and a roller shutter for easy access to replenish multiple IBC chemical storage containers.
Recovery of the Treated Suspended Solids would normally be achieved using either a Siltbuster Lamella Clarifier or Siltbuster Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Unit which would be located external to the dosing system, alternatively the treated solids can be recovered in a settlement lagoon on construction sites.
Siltbuster Containerised In-Line Dosing Systems can be supplied as a standalone system or as part of a complete water treatment package. View the Siltbuster Dosing Containers range Profile Drawings.
Key features: Secured Access, Rapidly Deployable, Plug and Play Dosing, Optional Trace Heating
Siltbuster Pipe Flocculators
Although less used these days, Siltbuster Pipe Flocculators provide a secure and consistent method of effectively mixing treatment chemicals with wastewater. The use of in-line static mixers eliminates the need for powered mixers minimising power requirements on-site.
As standard our Pipe Flocculators come complete with 4 dosing ports allowing the sequential addition of a range of treatment chemicals. They are ideal for constant flow application, are available in a range of different sizes and are typically provided as part of a complete treatment system before separation in a Lamella Settlement Unit or a DAF. As an optional item, in-line monitoring for common water quality parameters (pH, Turbidity, and Conductivity) can be built into the unit. View a Siltbuster Pipe Flocculator Profile Drawing.
Typical Applications: Flow Proportional Chemical Dosing, Mixing using Static In-line Mixers, Flocculation, pH Correction
