The products, by-products and waste streams in the form of viscous mixtures (slurry or paste) can be separated into liquid and solid fractions by selected innovative separation technologies explicitly tailored to a required solution. Sinowatek only selects high quality technologies and equipment with superior performance and small environmental footprints for the design of the processes. After the separation of the liquid and solid fractions has taken place, the liquid can be treated with electro-coagulation for storage, re-use or release.
