APS Silt Stop® anionic polymers are used to prevent erosion on slopes and control sediment runoff. Soil specific polymer additions (in granular or liquid form) can assist temporary or permanent grassing by binding the seed, fertilizer, mulch, and soil together until the grass germinates.
APS Floc Logs® can be used to clarify stormwater removing turbidity such as sediment, heavy metals, and inanimate nutrients reducing the total suspended solids.
APS Silt Stop® Powders can be used for mud thickening to remove unmanageable muck. Highly saturated soils can be messy and difficult to remove without spilling or dripping.
Soft Armoring is the process by which soft, pliable open-weave matting (i.e. jute, coir, coconut, hemp, burlap, etc.) is placed onto the soil surface. The soil-specific anionic polymer is then applied, and reacts with the metals and clays within the soil to bind it together.
To be used for to slow the velocity of stormwater in areas of concentrated flow, reducing the erosive capabilities of the water and allowing suspended sediment to settle out. Not for use in flowing streams.
APS Silt Stop® material is designed to agglomerate very fine particulate and retain that agglomerate for 1-4 days, while still allowing water to penetrate the soil. This has been shown to reduce airborne dust from haul roads, waste dumps, tailing piles, and open areas on construction sites.
Large Scale Dredging Projects Large scale dredging operations, where flow rates can exceed 20,000 GPM, require specific treatment systems. Here is a list of important things to remember when handling these situations:
Dewatering bags are used to capture sediment that is in water being pumped from a sediment basin. The bag is excellent at controlling sediment being discharged during dewatering. However, fine particulate is allowed to leave the dewatering bag.
APS Pond Logs® can be used to remove turbidity and inanimate nutrients from the water to clean dirty water and reduce aquatic life toxicity.
