How to calculate required SAP for dredge sediment solidification

Information needed to enable us to calculate required SAP

  1. Quantity of water mixed with the sediment.  Note: Very often people don't have this info. If it is the case, we need the following info to calculate the quantity
  2. Quantity of sediment to process (Often if cubic verge or cubic meter)
  3. % of water in the sediment
  4. % of targeted water allowed in the landfill
  5. Quality of water
  6. % of salt or mineral
  7. Ph

Dredging:

Dredging is the excavation of material from a water environment. Possible reasons for dredging include improving existing water features; reshaping land and water features to alter drainage, navigability, and commercial use; constructing dams, dikes, and other controls for streams and shorelines; and recovering valuable mineral deposits or marine life having commercial value. In all but a few situations the excavation is undertaken by a specialist floating plant, known as a dredger.

Dredging is carried out in many different locations and for many different purposes, but the main objectives are usually to recover material of value or use, or to create a greater depth of water.[1] Dredges have been classified as suction or mechanical.[1]

Dredging has significant environmental impacts: it can disturb marine sediments, leading to both short- and long-term water pollution, destroy important seabed ecosystems, and can release human-sourced toxins captured in the sediment.
