GEO TUBE BAGS
The Geotube technology works by allowing sludge to be filtered through the unique dual filament polypropylene fabric, while retaining a solids. As slurry is pumped into a Geotube unit, the process mostly require added chemicals to improve dewatering.
The addition of the polymer to the sludge is necessary to flocculate the sludge and allow the Geotube technology to dewater as effectively as possible.
Geotube units are durable and can be stacked to maximize space, or fabricated to fit in mobile roll-off containers which can be transported around a property or location. The unit comes in sizes to contain 100m 3 to 500m 3 of wet sediment slurry or sludge.
Specifications
Essentially a large ‘de-watering’ bag, Geotube dewatering units are geo-synthetic containers, made of high tensile woven polypropylene.
The special fabric of Geotube units allows for the retention of consolidated valuable nutrients and the dispersal of clear effluent.
The Geotube technology boasts a proven track record in effective de-watering and filtration for lagoons, municipal sludge, raw seepage.
Advantages of Geotube dewatering units:
- Recovery of valuable materials (mining industry)
- High volume containment
- Decrease the footprint to contain sludger
- Opportunity to spread project costs over several years
- Rapid flow-through rate
- Drastic reduction in disposal cost
- Lower capital cost
- Simplicity
- Conserve water
