Slurry Treatment & Dewatering Solutions

Pipe Jacking Slurry Treatment

Pipe Jacking Slurry Treatment

Compact separation and dewatering for pipe jacking works where site space is measured in meters.

Pipe jacking slurry is heavy in fines and arrives in batches as the drive advances. The module is sized for that rhythm instead of for a peak flow.

Typical capacity
20 – 80 m³/h
Slurry type
Bentonite / fines
Target cake
28 – 40 % dry solids

What the plant has to do

Work on these sites is measured in meters: the module stands beside the jacking shaft and shares tanks with the drive. Cake is tipped with the spoil and the filtrate returns to the slurry tank.

Recommended treatment process

Each stage is selected around the slurry and the disposal route.

  1. 01

    Receiving tank

    Slurry is buffered so the plant works at its own rate while the drive advances.

  2. 02

    Screening

    A compact screen removes coarse material in one pass.

  3. 03

    Desanding

    Cyclones take the sand fraction out before it settles in the tank.

  4. 04

    Conditioning

    Dosing follows the solids load of the batch rather than a fixed rate.

  5. 05

    Dewatering

    A chamber press produces a cake that can be tipped with the spoil.

Recommended equipment

Equipment is configured around the capacity, solids concentration and target cake moisture of your project.

Operating considerations

Batching

A buffer tank between the shaft and the plant is what keeps the press cycle steady.

Road access

Skid-mounted units are chosen where the only access is over the shaft edge.

Winter operation

Dosing lines and water circuits are trace-heated where the site runs through winter.
