Sludge Trap

Haase Tank's sludge trap made out of GRP

Sludge traps are part of the separator system, in which solids settle due to the principle of gravity. In the case of high volumes of solid matter, sludge traps are used as a separate structure in front of the separator. The sludge contained in the pre-sludge trap must be disposed of at the latest when the separated sludge quantity has filled half of the sludge trap volume.

THE USE OF SLUDGE TRAPS

Sludge traps are used in washing areas with a high sludge volume, e.g.

SELF-CAR WASH

AGRICULTURE

CONSTRUCTION MACHINE

THE ADVANTAGES 
OF HAASE SLUDGE TRAPS

  • Resistance

    Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) is dimensionally stable, corrosion-free and chemically durable

  • Installation

    also possible in cohesive clay soils and in groundwater, without complex substructure or foundation

  • No follow-up costs

    due to peeling coating or leaky joints in the shaft structure

  • Flexibility

    Seamless dome shaft extension for realizing large installation depths and adjustable top section for variable adaptation to the top edge of the site

  • Tightness

    Dome shaft and pipe connections are factory-made on the tank, so there are no joints

  • Weight

    low weight enables short installation times and moving with an excavator – no heavy-duty crane is required

  • Stability

    Thanks to special polymer concrete, loads of up to 60 tonnes and feed depths of over 4 m can be achieved

  • Cleaning

    Due to the spherical shape, the mud traps have no edges on which dirt can stick

HOW OUR SLUDGE TRAPS WORKS

The flow of the polluted waste water is directed in the sludge trap via a baffle plate at the inlet towards the tank bottom. Due to the higher specific weight, the solids settle on the ground and the wastewater freed from sediments flows into the light liquid separator.

EQUIPMENT

  • liquid-tight dome shaft extension
  • accessible and drivable manhole cover
  • Alarm system for sludge level measurement
  • Leak detector for checking the tightness of the tank wall
