Disposing Of Concrete Slurry Waste Into Sanitary Sewers Is Illegal

TRACY, Calif. - Sept. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- DISPOSING OF CONCRETE SLURRY WASTE INTO SANITARY SEWERS IS ILLEGAL!

The proper disposal of concrete cutting, coring, grinding and polishing residue is serious business, here’s a legal and economical solution.

Due to ever growing environmental regulations, concrete contractors of all sizes are rightfully concerned with the compliant disposal of their waste product.

Surtec announces Slurry.Sep™  and Slurry.Dry™ an economical solution to concrete slurry-waste management for concrete contractors.  The system separates water from slurry for effective recycling or disposal, and in most cases, further solidifies remaining waste to a complaint disposal material.

Dry concrete grinding may soon be a thing of the past.

In 2012 Cal/OSHA reclassified Silica Dust a Class 1 Carcinogen, this means that it is classified at the same level as Asbestos!  Dry concrete grinding, without proper vacuuming containment, exposes workers to harmful Silica Dust and puts that dust into the environment.

Wet concrete slurry is considered hazardous waste.

Slurry waste is not legal to dispose of down a sanitary sewer, or to be dumped in a sanitary waste site. It must be properly separated and meet certain specifications to be considered legal to dispose of by standard means (sanitary sewers and dumpsters).

STEP ONE:  Slurry.Sep™ quickly separates and neutralizes, water from concrete slurry, in order to prepare the water, in most cases, for safe recycling or compliant disposal.

STEP TWO:  Slurry.Dry™ quickly absorbs moisture from the remaining concrete slurry waste material, creating a solid, compliant product that is safe and legal for direct disposal in landfills.  Verify the guidelines of your municipality.
