CFlo provides advanced wet processing solutions that convert this desilted or dredged material into consistent, high-quality sand, turning an unavoidable operational by-product into a valuable resource for construction and infrastructure.

Our Role in Desilting & Maintenance Dredging Projects

CFlo does not engage in water-body restoration, deep-sea extraction, or ecological rehabilitation. Our expertise is purely in beneficiating the sediment removed during:

• Desilting of dams
• Desilting of lakes and reservoirs
• Maintenance dredging of ports and navigational channels
• Silt removal from water storage and industrial water bodies

We specialise in turning this material into usable, specification-compliant sand, reducing waste volumes and creating new supply for the construction ecosystem

Challenges in Handling Dredged & Desilted Materials

• Highly variable particle sizes and moisture content
• Sticky, fine sediments difficult to process
• Large volumes requiring continuous handling
• High costs of transport, storage, and disposal
• Limited commercial reuse pathways without beneficiation
• Pressure on port and reservoir operators to minimise waste footprint

Our Solution

CFlo’s wet processing systems are engineered to manage fine, high-moisture sediments from both inland desilting and coastal / port maintenance dredging operations.

Key Features

• Engineered for challenging dredged silt - Efficiently handles fine, silty, clay-rich and moisture-heavy feed.
• Continuous feed directly from dredge pumps Ensures regulated plant loading and smooth, uninterrupted operations
• Flexible deployment options Installations can be shore-based or barge-mounted, depending on port or inland site constraints.
• High-quality sand production - Output sand meets construction and reclamation specifications
• Significant reduction in disposal volumes - Dewatered fines streamline logistics and lower costs
• Reliable, field-proven equipment - Suitable for long-duration desilting and port maintenance programs.

How It Works

• Material Intake - Desilted or dredged slurry is pumped or transported to the CFlo processing system.
• Screening & Washing - Removal of oversize and impurities; washing separates usable fractions.
• Sand Classification & Recovery - Classification technology separates coarse and fine usable sand.
• Silt Management - Ultra-fines are concentrated and dewatered for easier, low-cost disposal.
• Engineered Sand Output - Clean, dewatered sand ready for construction applications.

Applications of Recovered Sand

• Concrete and ready-mix production
• Reclamation, embankment, and backfilling
• Precast products and paver blocks
• Roadwork and infrastructure fill
• General construction aggregates

Why Choose CFlo for Dredged/Desilted Material Processing?

• Converts an unavoidable maintenance output into a usable product
• Reduces operational and disposal costs
• Provides a sustainable alternative to mined river sand
• Adapts to varying feed characteristics
• Delivers consistent sand quality
• Supports continuous, high-volume operations at ports and major water bodies

A Smarter Way to Handle Dredging & Desilting Material

Whether from a dam, lake, reservoir, or a busy commercial port, dredged silt is an inevitable by-product. CFlo’s technology turns this material into engineered sand, enabling operators to reduce waste, improve economics, and unlock new value from routine maintenance activities.
