Sludge dewatering by means of Geotube®

The Geotube® container are made of polypropylene and they have rapid and efficient filtering capabilities, high durability as well as proven economic advantages.

The Geotube is used for a variety of applications:

• Reservoirs and storage ponds cleaning.
• Streams, lakes and other waterways cleaning and rehabilitation.
• Cleaning reservoirs containing organic and inorganic sludge from industrial sources.
• A solution for maintaining sedimentation and ventilation reservoirs in wastewater and sewage treatment facilities.
• An emergency solution for sludge dewatering in cases where the regular system is disabled due to a malfunction or for maintenance purposes.

Advantages of utilizing Geotube®:

• Sludge volume reduction.
• Ability to work in high flow rates (throughputs) and thereby shorten the execution times.
• Filtrate water quality is good – removal ability of about 99% of the solids.
• No environmental hazards such as odor hazards.
• Inexpensive compared to existing alternatives.

Additional applications for Geotubes and their utilization in marine works:

• Coastal cliffs protection against erosion
• Breakwaters construction.
• Artificial islands construction.
