How it works:
Siltbuster mobile silt
traps achieve outstanding results in the removal of fine
particles from water using proven technology and a radical
hydraulic design in a rugged unit. Siltbuster mobile
units are specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands
and requirements of the modern construction site.
The Process
The process, in contrast to conventional
settlement tanks, stills the incoming water/solids mix and
routes it upwards between a set of inclined plates for separation.
Fine particles settle onto the plates and slide down to
the base for collection, whilst treated water flows to an
outlet weir after passing below a scum board to retain any
floating material. The inclined plates dramatically increase
the effective settling area of the unit resulting in a smaller
space requirement on site and a process which unlike lagoons,
is unaffected by wind disturbance, etc. (Click
