Geotextile Dewatering Tubes

Geotextile Dewatering Tubes in action Geotextile Dewatering Tubes, Also referred to as Sludge Tubes, Geo-Tubes (short for geotextile), Dewatering Tubes, are ideal for filtering materials on projects and are used extensively on Water Treatment projects (WWTP’s), agricultural ponds, aquaculture facilities, pulp and paper mills and numerous industrial lagoons for consolidation of media.

Geotextile Dewatering Tubes are used extensively on dredging operations. To view a very versatile Watermaster dredge in Finland using this technolgy

Additional items to consider when planning a sludge tube program is all the necessary dredging, pumping, and piping systems (The sludge / slurry flow to the tubes must be controlled through a series of manifolds and valves). Also consider contacting a polymer specialist to treat the sludge and also the necessary management and labor to establish/maintain a sludge tube dewatering process. The correct use of Polymer can reduce total time and provide huge savings on a geotextile dewatering tube system but must be carefully monitored during the tube filling operation. Periodic beaker tests should be done to ensure peak performance and TSS thresholds are achieved.

Additional considerations while using tubes;

• Safe location tubes with respect to potential hazards and area.

Dewatering Tube Operations:

The geotextile dewatering tubes should be left in left in-place to dewater over a period of time to achieve the best volume reduction. Reduction rates depend on slurry, organics and conditions. Once consolidated the tube material can be trucked to off-site location for disposal or used as fill, compost or other beneficial uses.

Sludge Tube Benefits:

• Requires minimal dewatering equipment

• It is not very labor intensive and can run 24/7

• No hi-tech complicated procedures or parts.

• Typically the most economical approach to dewatering
