As dust suppression becomes mandatory due to health and environmental concerns, MetaFLO’s fast-acting biopolymer provides a low-cost and efficient solution for improving air quality on construction sites.
HDD Slurry Solidification for Safe Handling and Disposal
In a Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) project in São Paulo, Brazil, MetaFLO’s MF003 solidified slurry with free water in up to 30 minutes, enabling safe handling and disposal of the waste.
Utilities and Hydro Excavation
After implementing MetaFLO’s solidification technology, the utility company’s contractor found a disposal application for the treated material that would reduce costs further. Landfills have a need for day-cover, a layer of compressed soil that prevents each day’s deposition of waste from spreading.
Complexities of Addressing Buried Infrastructure
Ideally the solution includes, maintaining the advantages of hydro-excavation’s safe and efficient underground utility exposure but eliminating the inefficient and costly transportation of wet waste slurry in vacuum excavation trucks to a limited number of expensive receiving sites.
Enbridge Gas Distribution Pipeline Project
MetaFLO Technologies provided on site solidification of what became 300,000 gallons of mud. At an average 12 pounds per gallon, total waste was approximately 1,800 tonne. The solidified mud was piled in holding berms and turned twice a day to achieve greater volume reduction through evaporation.
Hydro Excavation Mud – Pipeline Integrity Test
As a result of the MF006 treatment, the hydro excavation material was transformed to the dry, earth like finish in the right photo. This solution required no in-ground sumps, provided optimal efficiency for expensive hydro excavation trucks and low cost disposal options for solid material.
Solidification of Storm Water Pond Sediment
A MetaFLO distributor was sourced as the provider of the best value reagent solution, using MF006 requiring a lower reagent dose to meet the required solids criteria for transportation. MF006 proprietary formula is environmentally friendly adding no contaminants / impurities which would diminish the solidified waste’s status for beneficial reuse options.
