Due to the lack of circulation in artificially created ponds, they are particularly affected by the changing of the seasons. To ensure that the pond ecosystem can be maintained even in artificially created ponds, it is important to clean them and remove organic material, for example.
In order not to restrict navigation on rivers and in harbors, these must be regularly cleared of sediments and navigation channels must be deepened. The sediments that are removed from the waterways consist of organic and mineral fractions, which can also be contaminated by external influences. When riverbeds are contaminated with environmentally harmful substances, it is important to minimize the damage. Schauenburg MAB offers plants for the treatment of these removed sediments and deposits.
In the applications for the treatment of river-, pond- and harbor sludge, the sediments are removed with a vacuum pump. During classification, these sediments are divided into mineral and organic fractions. The reusable mineral fractions are washed and dewatered. The organic fraction is dewatered and disposed of. Depending on the nature of the sediments, the disposal volume can be significantly reduced by using Schauenburg’s treatment plants.
