The system includes: Sump pit, Sedimentation tank, Mud tank and

pump, Clean water tank, Filter and related. It collects all recycled

water coming from whole polishing line. Dirty water is pumped into

sedimentation tank from sump pit by sump pump(s). During

pumping, coagulant is injected. Once collected in sedimentation tank,

mud will settled on the bottom and relatively clean water will rise to

the surface. Settled mud on the bottom of the tank will be pushed out

into small mud tank on floor level then, the mud pump will pump into

filter press. In the press, the mud will be pressed to cake and drop

intoa waste container. When water level fills up, the water will

overflow into clean water tank. The clean water will be pumped to
