The
Geotube®
Technology
Geotube®
dewatering units
are
geo-synthetic containers, made from high tensile woven
polypropylene. Essentially a Geotube® unit is a
large dewatering bag. The special fabric of Geotube units
allows for the retention of consolidated valuable nutrients
and the dispersal of clear effluent. The Geotube®
technology
has proven
it’s effectiveness in providing de-watering and filtration
for lagoons, municipal sludge, raw septage as well as a host
of other industries around the world since 1982.
Advantages of
Geotube® dewatering units:
- High volume
containment
- Opportunity
to spread project costs over several years
- Rapid flow
through rate
- Drastic
reduction in disposal cost
- Lower
capital cost
- Simplicity
The Geotube®
technology
works by
allowing sludge to be filtered through the unique dual
filament polypropylene fabric, while retaining a high
percent of solids. As sludge is pumped into a Geotube®
unit, it is injected with a polymer. 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 that can be
transported around your property.
