Soil washing plants for land remediation
 
The Soil Washing technique
Soil Washing  means that process that provides the washing of contaminated land, usually from obsolete industrial areas or becoming obsolete, based on physical and/or chemical mechanisms which aim is to separate the various matrices  that compose it, concentrating the pollutant content in the finest fraction(silt and clay).
The Soil Washing technique, that for many years has already been practising in northern Europe, is the unique technology that permits to solve problems related to land remediation, through industrial methods and models.
 

How the Soil Washing works

The Soil Washing uses the simple principle therefore the chemical substances tend to stuck to the surface of certain types of ground instead of others. In this way the pollutants tend to “stick” more to the fine particles as for example the ones of which are made silts and clays more than to coarse particles like sands and gravel. The Soil Washing process helps to separate silts and clays from the coarser fraction , making possible, through a washing process and a particle size separation, to join the aim to transfer all the contamination to the fine phase. For being efficient, it’s necessary that a well given connection exist  between the fractions of the soil : we can say that the recourse to a Soil Washing plant is justifiable and applicable to all that contaminated soils characterised for a fine (< 80 micron) percentage inferior to 40% in weight.
 
Soil Washing Plants DIEMME
Diemme projects, manufactures and installs Soil Washing Plants for the drainage of grounds contaminated from different types of pollutants : heavy metals, hydrocarbons, pesticides,etc…
To offer to the customer the best technique-economic solution Diemme projects the Soil Washing Plants on the base of data provided by laboratory tests that Diemme makes with pilot plants on significant ground samples.
After having obtained the technique and economic approval of the project, Diemme starts producing and providing all the required equipments and structures, like : hoppers, belt conveyors, screen ,tickner, tank of soil decontamination  hydrocyclon, clarifiers, press filters ,sand filters and all other kind of equipment required for the realization of the project.
Diemme provides also to install and to start-up the whole plant giving also the required instruction to the personnel that will manage the plant.
The Soil Washing  plants so realized allow to select and to recover more than the 90% of aggregates present in the soil and to concentrate the polluter in very low fractions, thanks also to the modern technology offered by Diemme Filtration press filters.
Diemme has already realized Soil Washing Plants and it has been supplying others, contact us for more information and to fix a visit to the plants.
