Challenges in Tunneling Slurry Treatment

During tunnel construction, slurry treatment is a critical factor affecting project progress and costs. Traditional treatment methods face numerous challenges:

High Moisture Content Issues

Tunnel slurry typically has moisture content of 75-85%, resulting in large volume, high transportation costs, and failure to meet environmental discharge standards.

Environmental Compliance Pressure

Strict environmental regulations require slurry treatment to meet discharge standards, with traditional methods struggling to achieve SS content below 0.3%.

Low Construction Efficiency

Traditional slurry treatment methods are inefficient, occupy large construction areas, affect project progress, and increase labor costs.

High Transportation Costs

High moisture content slurry has large volume, resulting in high transportation costs and environmental pollution risks during transport.

How Decanter Centrifuges Solve Tunneling Slurry Dewatering Challenges

High-Efficiency Separation Principle

ZK decanter centrifuges utilize advanced centrifugal separation technology, generating powerful centrifugal force through high-speed rotation to rapidly separate solid particles from liquid in tunnel slurry.

Tunneling Application Adaptability

Designed for the special environment of tunnel construction, our centrifuges feature the following characteristics:

  • Continuous Processing Capacity: Processing capacity up to 40m³/h, meeting large-scale tunnel project requirements
  • High Automation Level: 99% of operations can be completed via touch screen, reducing manual intervention
  • Strong Adaptability: Can process slurry under various geological conditions (sand layers, clay layers, mudstone layers, etc.)
  • Environmental Compliance: Treated effluent SS content below 0.3%, meeting reuse or discharge requirements
