                         Lowest Operational Cost

  • All Operation sizes can utilize Deskins Quick-Dry Filtration Process Economically

  • Any operation that produces wastewater can benefit from the Deskins “Quick-Dry” Filtration Process™ to develop more programmable, accurate and manageable biosolids as well as resulting liquid effluent.

  •  Financial feasibility depends on type of operation and production unit volume.  Process components including AquaTrac machines, Flocculation Unit, pump station, and effluent catch tank are set in price but have different operation size fluctuations.

  •  Example: larger operations would benefit from using the AquaTrac 200 and two AquaTrac Dumpers due to biosolid volume, Deskins “Quick-Dry” Filtration Process™ optimization, and reduction in man-hours.  Where medium size operations would benefit from using one to two AquaTrac 100 units.

  • Sources of financial assistance are available through F D Deskins Lease-Purchase program, National Organizations, Clean Water Act Compliance Audit Program Agreement, as well as monies that are presently being lost due to fines and crisis management scenarios.

    ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY:

    Now available for Swine, Dairy, Poultry, Beef, Feedlot, CAFOs, Food Processing as well as any flowing wastewater.

    Deskins "Quick-Dry" Filtration Process has been in use in over 300 installations in the United States for the past eight years in Municipality and Industrial Wastewater Facilities.  EPA, USDA, North Carolina State University, and Engineers around the world are pleased with the results of the Deskins "Quick-Dry" Filtration Process.

    Finding a process such as Deskins "Quick-Dry" Filtration Process especially for the use in Agriculture Liquid-Solid Separation has powerful implications for any process creating a flowable wastewater product.  

    Even waste that has little moisture to begin with such as poultry litter has been successfully placed through the Deskins "Quick-Dry" Filtration Process.

    The ability to alter the chemical states of the waste materials and create liquid and solid portions that only contain what is desired creates an optimal setting for changing the outlook for concentrated livestock production. Liquid-solid separation will not alter the physical states of waste materials.

Economic Feasibility for Wastewater Treatment
depends on the amount of biosolid created.  Filter size is determined by approximating 3 pounds of biosolid at time of pour per 1 square foot of filter.

If  2,000 square feet of filter are required the investment for the process components, is $80,000 which can then be calculated against the cost/benefit measuring factors ($/1,000 gallons, $/animal produced, $/annual fines).

Included in the above estimate: Automatic Pour Sequencer, Mechanical Water Housing, Polymer Activation System, RapidFloc Mixer, Media Cell Panels, and AquaTrac 100.  Estimation does not include any production figures.

 

How long would it take to install and be ready for steady state use?

Once the Deskins “Quick-Dry” Filtration Process™ is installed and training is complete (which normally takes two to four weeks after final engineering drafts), the operation of the filter is ready for continuous use.  Taking into consideration climatic effects on drying time to a set % biosolid, 1 month would give proper validation to steady state performance.  If biosolid can be removed at a set cycle with a range of 40% to 70% dry biosolids, one cycle validates steady state performance.  Factors that otherwise would effect outcome of biosolid drying time or flocculation would include precipitation, climate changes, medication procedural changes, and operator error.  Samples of unprocessed swine wastewater evaluated on a preset schedule and if any of the previously mentioned factors provides all necessary precautions leading to change in procedure including polymer mixture.
