RECYCLED GYPSUM FOR SOIL & LAND REMEDIATION
Turn Recovered Gypsum Into a Resource for Restoration
Gypsum recovered from drywall can find a new purpose in soil improvement and land-remediation applications. By separating gypsum from the paper backing and producing a clean, consistent material, Scott Equipment’s GypStream helps recyclers transform drywall waste into a recovered mineral product with potential beneficial-use opportunities.
REMEDIATION APPLICATIONS FOR RECOVERED GYPSUM
Potential Markets for Recovered Gypsum
Depending on material quality, site conditions, regulations, and end-user requirements, processed gypsum can support several remediation applications.
DISTURBED LAND
Potential use in soil-amendment programs designed to restore disturbed or degraded land.
OIL & GAS SITES
Gypsum is used in certain soil-remediation applications at oil and gas drilling sites.
SODIC SOILS
Can provide soluble calcium used in the reclamation of sodium-affected soils.
LAND RESTORATION
May be incorporated into soil-amendment programs that support revegetation and land recovery.
GYPSUM & WATER CLARIFICATION
Gypsum can also be used in certain water-clarification applications. In muddy or cloudy water, dissolved gypsum can interact with suspended clay particles, helping them aggregate into larger particles that settle out of the water column.
MUDDY WATER
Suspended clay particles in water
GYPSUM APPLICATION
Gypsum is added to the water
CLAY PARTICLES AGGREGATE
Clay particles bind together
PARTICLES SETTLE
Larger particles settle from the water
