In the production and use of sand and gravel, it may be necessary to dewater the products for various reasons such as: 

  • Meet the environmental regulations and standards on liquid rejects (reduced load to environment and safe water because of closed water cycle)  
  • Stricter requirements on sand quality and residual moisture for concrete production (hydraulic engineering or road construction) 
  • Removal of impurities to get so-called "clean" aggregates  
  • Reuse wash water to limit the consumption of water 
  • Limit solid volume for evacuation
