Effective water treatment: “Discover mobile solutions, use residual water sustainably! Save water!” is the motto. Climate change and increased periods of drought show that water is becoming a scarcer resource. This affects private households, agriculture and industry alike. The fact that water demand is rising at the same time exacerbates the cost situation. What can be done? Active water management and mobile water treatment for industry is the sustainable strategy!
Mobile water treatment plant for industry: The principle
Regardless of the industry: a fully automated, mobile water treatment plant for the
Industry, and specifically your concrete plant, saves water, disposal costs and time – while also complying with all water protection and environmental regulations. This also reduces the load on downstream wastewater treatment plants. As a concrete plant, you benefit from a closed water cycle thanks to mobile water treatment for concrete.
CWAS, a cement residue water treatment plant for the concrete industry, treats your concrete residue water so that you can reuse it for fresh concrete production. This is because 100 per cent of its components are returned to the raw material cycle. Everything you need is housed in a special container. Completely prefabricated, equipped according to individual requirements – and ready for immediate commissioning upon arrival at the construction site.
Concrete recycling or water treatment?
Whether it's fresh concrete recycling, residual water treatment, or process water management, we will find the optimal solution for your plant.
Where is mobile water treatment for concrete at its best?
For concrete mixing plants and mixing supervisors, a mobile water treatment plant for industry means improved working conditions. Innovative cement residual water treatment achieves high concrete quality even with low water consumption and concrete slurry quantities. Mixer cleaning is also no longer carried out with expensive fresh water, but with recycled water. AJF offers you systems as plug & play products, transportable, flexible treatment systems with the appropriate water treatment technology components for construction water and waste water – even directly on the construction site.
It doesn’t take much: just stable ground, clear access roads and electricity. Mobile water treatment for concrete can be set up almost anywhere in a space-saving manner and put into operation at short notice.
A mobile water treatment plant for industrial use purifies irrigation, washing and pit water so that it meets the official requirements for process and waste water; the costs for construction site operation are reduced through recirculating water purification. Mobile water treatment plants have a wide range of applications.
On large construction sites, concrete is often produced centrally and pumped to the place of use via pipe systems. Flushing these pipes continuously produces dirty water – water treatment filters out residual substances directly.
Mobile water treatment reimagined – with the mo-BAT from AJF
A mobile water treatment plant for industrial use incorporates water basins such as cisterns, courtyard water basins and retention basins, so that this water automatically becomes part of the production cycle. Our mobile concrete water separation tank, or mo-BAT for short, designed for washing concrete buckets or other washing applications, does its job on construction sites as well as in precast plants.
The mo-BAT from AJF is a system that treats even small quantities of water and residual concrete in a closed water cycle, thereby saving a lot of cleaning water. And filtration? This is simply carried out using a filter bag; no further recycling equipment is required. As soon as sediments accumulate, they are separated and end up in a big bag; the filtered water is drained off via two outlets.
All this saves time and space! Industrial companies such as WMM AG in Illertissen are already using our mo-BAT 1000: wherever precast concrete elements such as ceilings and walls take shape, this efficient mobile water treatment plant makes its contribution in industry – ensuring that every delivery date is met.
Away with traditional settling tanks! There is a more contemporary approach…
Construction site water is full of concentrated mineral particles, and its pH value is equivalent to that of caustic soda. It goes without saying that this type of water does not belong in waterways or sewage systems. This is why construction site inspections check whether you have taken water protection precautions. If not, you could face heavy fines – and the requirements for future projects could be tightened.
Of course, you know that drainage containers or settling tanks are essential for construction site wastewater. However, this is not an ideal solution: sedimentation causes fine particles to settle there; the water is then drained from the settling tank. There is no question of sensible, continuous separation of sediment and water here – this classic strategy is time-consuming, not to mention the space it requires.
Mobile water treatment with mo-BAT – pH neutralisation included
Unlike mobile cement residue water treatment, which not only automates separation precisely, but also takes over what traditionally happens in the neutralisation tank: it is already integrated in the mo-BAT1000+ and mo-BAT3000. The wastewater from the filter big bag is directed specifically towards the neutralisation tank. Chemical neutralisation with CO₂ tackles alkaline wastewater at the pH value. The mobile water treatment plant for industry treats the purified water with carbon dioxide to lower the pH value as intended. Every AJF pH neutralisation plant is tailored to your specific wastewater volumes and requirements.
pH value determination and final pH check, either manually or fully automatically depending on the model, location-independent in a mobile container. To comply with all water regulations, an optional built-in evaluation station reliably checks turbidity and solids content. A fully automated wastewater control system in which all measured values can be called up via the controller display module. And if certain components require maintenance, your system will notify you automatically!
Can concrete producers reuse concrete water for fresh concrete?
Our CWAS cement-water treatment system for the concrete industry is available in both stationary and mobile versions. Concrete water produced during the cleaning of truck mixers still contains many valuable substances. However, these must meet the meticulous specifications of each individual concrete recipe. Water density standardisation allows you to comply with all water specification parameters. You can freely preselect the density values of certain substances in the residual water and integrate grain size processing and binder dosing – and, of course, preset the pH value of the return water. The result is cement water that you can reuse up to a maximum of 100 per cent! Every mobile water treatment plant for industry is a patented system that operates according to the principle of a closed raw material cycle – with a consistently low residual water density. This is essential for complying with the concrete recipe and ensuring reliable concrete strength and consistent quality.
Fully automatic: filtration, sludge dewatering
Not everything in the water can be separated by filters. Mobile water treatment adds flocculant as needed, which binds even the finest particles, neutralises their charge and automatically transforms them into large macroflocs. This prevents them from slipping through the mesh during filtration! An AJF flocculant station offers everything you need for the professional preparation of polyelectrolyte solutions, designed in a modular fashion to meet your requirements. Like a microfilter station with special filters that continuously remove tiny particles of all kinds from the water. Mobile, fully automatic sludge dewatering is also included: it separates solids and residual water from the liquid sludge, leaving behind solid sludge in a form that can be landfilled or incinerated, easily disposed of in big bags. The ideal complement to mobile water treatment wherever wastewater and sludge volumes are particularly high.
