Overview | Removal of sediment contamination consists of a step of dredging of the bottom sediment and a step of purifying the dredged substances.

The following shows examples of purification. Coagulant is added to the bottom sediment of the dredged substance, which are then subjected to a step of solid/liquid separation. Separated water is discharged and solids are dehydrated. After that, the remainder is used as embankment soil, agricultural soil, etc. Further, it is solidified by concrete or is directly subjected to landfill disposal. In the implementation of this technique, sufficient consideration is given to the details of the sediment contamination and surrounding working environment and an economical combination of treatment methods are adopted. |
