The "CRAB" Systems Water Treatment Technology

Acid Solutions presents The Worlds Leading Technology for bulk water treatment ...

Acid Solutions is the designer and manufacturer of the unprecedented CRAB™CX machine.
The CRAB™ patented systems and treatment technology are unique, because of their highly efficient mixing, blending and application processes fully controlled by a specifically designed time proven computer processor.
The CRAB™ is a highly versatile, portable and accurate system for cost effective treatment of large volumes of contaminated water. Modular in design, our systems are quick and easy to install in difficult to access locations while providing our technicians a broad range of treatment capabilities. Acid Solutions has a range of 19 specifically designed treatment and application systems which greatly improve efficiencies and minimize time and costs. 
The CRAB's proven efficiency, mobility and speed of installation "Makes a huge Difference" in precise multi reagent application to difficult water problems and short or long term treatments.

Water treatment and Environmental Safety

Not only can contaminated water harm the environment, but so can certain treatments, reagents and methods of application. Acid Solutions has designed many reagent combinations and application processes to protect environmentally sensitive sites such as swamps, wetlands, aquatic waterways and marine environments. These processes along with the correct reagents and accurate application provide unprecedented safety for sensitive sites.

CRAB™ systems accurately process many chemicals and reagents:

CRAB™ systems will precisely blend and process many powder, granular and liquid reagents in combination. We use 4 sizes of the CRAB™ multi purpose systems depending on reagent output and capability required.
Designed to handle the most extreme of reagent requirements and demands, our systems have an enormous output of powdered reagents from 1500 grams to 4.4 tonnes per hour.
This CRAB accurately processes a 500 kg bulk bag of hydrated lime in less than 8 minutes and is extremely compact for its capability.
The feed systems have been designed to accept 20-25 kg handy bags, 500 to 1200kg bulk bags or automatic correlated external silo feed.

"One of our specialties is the accurate application of hydrated lime {CA(OH)₂ Calcium hydroxide} which is one eighth the cost of the liquid alternative Caustic Soda {NaOH Sodium hydroxide}, the savings that can be realised are significant "

Combining reagents to save you money

The Acid Solutions team produce excellent results by combining mixes of liquid and powdered reagents onsite within the mixing and application process which greatly reduces costs to the client.
A common example would be liquid ferric chloride and powdered hydrated lime, which when mixed in the right combination produce ferric hydroxide which is a great mop for many toxic dissolved metals.
Combining reagents such as these on-site can produce outstanding results without the extreme costs of using proprietary reagents. Many different combinations of Hydroxides, carbonates, neutralizers, oxidizers, flocculants and absorbents can produce unprecedented results. Let Acid Solutions configure the best reagent combinations and process to efficiently and safetly treat your water problem at the lowest possible cost.

Power, Control Capabilities and Safety Systems

All CRAB™ systems are usually self powered but can be connected to mains power if available.
All systems have Mines Approved Electrics and are Australian Standards Compliant, so you're assured of receiving treatment services with safe and compliant machinery.
Two unique Solid State Processors have been custom designed to control the CRAB™ systems with precision and automated safety. 26 site programmable parameters, autostart, automatic safety shutdown, datalogging, pH correlation and alerting provide security for environmentally sensitive treatment operations. These advanced control capabilities are used to compliment your treatment requirements and provide the precise control, accuracy and WPH&S requirements.
