GeotubeŽ Dewatering TechnologyGeotube® containers have been used for separation of solids from aquaculture waste, industrial waste, municipal sludge and dredged materials, thus eliminating the need for mechanical dewatering. They have also been used in breakwater applications to protect and enhance beachfronts and coastlines or as dikes to preserve and reconstruct eroding embankments.
Geotube® systems are fabricated from a strong, woven geotextile material with special high strength sewing techniques. The geotextile fabric is permeable to water while retaining solids, sludge or dredged materials. Excess water drains from the Geotube® through small pores, resulting in effective dewatering of the contained material. This volume reduction allows for repeated addition of solids to the Geotube®. After dewatering, the dried solids can be used to fertilize crops, burned or disposed of in a landfill.
Three standard sizes of Geotube® are available: Mobile Dewatering System (MDS) tube and two MuniTubes. Custom sizes are also available based on flow rates and/or volume. Please call for more information.
The MDS tube fits in a 30-yard, roll-off container. It has standard 3" flange fittings, can be moved from location to location and can serve as a temporary on-site dewatering system. Ships by motor freight, FOB GA.
The MuniTube dewatering container is delivered to the jobsite on a wooden pallet. It can be placed on an existing drying bed, in a dewatering basin or on a layer of sand with an underdrain system for collection of the effluent water. Geotube® is a registered trademark of Nicolon Corp. |
