1. Presenter: James Griffin, Executive SalesTriflo International Dredged Slurry Separation System
2. Advantages of Dewatering and Sediment Separation Utilized in high density areas - Residential and Industrial
3 Stage Process - Selective separation - Large - Medium - Small Particles Removed
Process slurries with high solids fed directly from the dredge
Can be used in areas that are environmentally sensitive. Solids removed can be loaded into roll off containers - Onto belt loading conveyors to trucks for proper disposal.
End product passes paint filter test and is stackable.
3 - Minute test involves - Paint Filter - Produced Solids
No water passing through the filter.
Product can be recycled back into the local environment & used for fill material (if not proven to be toxic).
Totally mechanical process and no chemicals are used. Very low noise level.
Minimizes use of GeoTubes. GeoTubes - Final clarification.
Minimum equipment foot print required for selective processing volumes
High mobility
3. OVERVIEW What is a separation system?
Basic operation.
Basic characteristics.
Controls for scalpers and hydro cyclones
Dredge compatibility and size limits.
Power and general system costs
Advantages & Disadvantages
Case Studies
Conclusions
4. What is a separation system? Unit that separates liquid and solids
3 - stage system
Continuous
What are the components?
Fluid holding tank
Scalping Shakers
10” Hydro clones over secondary shakers
4” Hydro clones over shakers
Fluid Pumps (centrifugal)
Fluid discharge pump
Agitators (Internal)
5. Basic Operation Process schematic (flow diagram for slurry and sediments.)
7. Basics of a Scalper Similar info as for hydro cyclone
Scalper - Vibrating - Elliptical motion screen
Removes Large debris, sticks - rocks - glass - cans - etc.
8. Phase OneScalping Shaker/s
9. Basics of a Hydro cyclone How does it work and what are the limitations and controls?
Centrifugal (internal) force
3 - openings - Feed - Solids discharge - Effluent discharge
Feed inlet
Effluent discharge
Solids discharge
No moving parts
Polyurethane Construction
Cone size determines particle size removal
10” Cone 74 microns +
4” Cone 25 microns +
Volume through put 10” = 500 GPM
4” 65 GPM
10. Phase Two210146 Fluid Processors
11. Phase Three164146 Fluid Processors
12. Dredge Compatibility What range of dredge size, flow rate, specific gravity, sediment, concentration?
1000 GPM - 2000 GPM - 4000 GPM
Standard sizes - 1000 GPM - 2000 GPM
Higher specific gravity the better.
15% by weight ideal
Continuous or noncontinuous operation limitations?
Continuous operation
13. Separation System Power Requirements What size and type of power plants are used?
On site generators - 400 KW (2000 GPM) 275KW (1000 GPM)
Pole Power (line)
14. General Costs Can you provide some general cost ranges depending on tons/hr, GPM, dredge size (8in, 10in, etc.)?
$100 / day - maintenance for screens - pump packing electrical
Does not cover fuel cost
Does not cover labor
1000 GPM average cost per ton .50 cents
2000 GPM average cost per ton .50 cents
Producing more tons per hour
15. Case Study #1 3900 Acre Lake Dredging Project - upper East Texas
Purpose - Boat owners unable to launch boats - Silted up Lagoons
Scope of this project: Remove 40,000 cubic yards of debris - sand - silt
Volume Processing:1000 Gallons of dredged slurry per minute - direct feed from dredge
Solids feed per hour: 10% - 1/2 ton per minutes. 30 Tons per hour.
Majority of material removed inorganic - Most of which was recycled.
Finer sand - used as Mortar sand
Coarser sand used as cement sand.
Cost per ton: .50 cents for maintenance.
Other cost not known.

20. Conclusion Satisfied HOA (Home owner association)
No disturbance to property
No complaints about noise
Homeowners received free material
21. Case study #2 Dredging project located southwest of Washington D.C.
55 acre lake dredging project
Purpose: Deepen lake - never dredged before
Scope of the Project: 1st phase - 2 years 2nd phase 1 1/2 years.
Volume processing rate: 4000 gallons per minute direct feed from dredge.
Solids loading: 10% 2 tons of product per minute or 120 tons per hour.

25. Conclusion All material removed was used for fill in purposes (non-contaminated material).
Project is currently on-going working in the second phase of sedimentation removal and haul off.
