The waste waters formed during the ceramic, granite and marble production and which contain particles are taken with the channels or pipes and collected in a waste water collection pool in the suitable size and form.

 

The waste water pumped into the sediment tank is subject to the diffuser first. At the exit of the diffuser, the solid particles are taken to the conic part of the tank and the liquid is taken to the upper part due to the centrifugal power and specific weight. There are spill ways at the upper part of the tank. The water which is elevated to the spillways does not drag the settling solid particles up. The purified water coming from the spillways is collected in another clean water tank. This tank is according to the suitable code and vertical. Thus, clean water is provided to the factory for process with natural flow. The slip, settling at the bottom part of the sediment tank is evacuated to the slip homogenization tank with a valve.

 

The flocculated and stiffening slip are mixed at slow rotation in this tank and kept as a homogenous fluid slip. The fluid slip is pushed into the filter press with a high pressure pump. Solid materials accumulated in the panels (CAKE) of the filter press closed with pressure of the hydraulic cylinder.

 

The water in the mud is filtered with water filter fabrics and collected in the channels with the taps near the panels and then sent to the waste collection pool. The CAKE obtained between the panels is evacuated into a container under the filter press and then to a truck case or trailer. Thus 95-97 % of the waste water is recovered.
