Soil washing plant
The SWP-20 soil washing plant is used to decontaminate soils and wastes containing toxic substances. In soils, the contamination is usually bound to the surface of the particles and is therefore concentrated in the fine-grained fraction.
Therefore, the goal of the washing technology is to separate the fine-grained fraction (in the form of sludge) from the material being processed, thereby removing the vast majority of contaminants. Separated sludge containing higher concentrations of contaminants is usually characterised as hazardous waste and must be managed accordingly.
Conversely, washed soil (or other material - e.g. demolition waste) free of contamination can be used e.g. as backfill material.
