Silt Bags For Dewater Sludge From Filter Backwash At Water Treatment Plant

(Kingston, Tennessee)

I have recently heard of your products, and am inquiring as to using them to dewater sludge from filter backwash at our water treatment plant. We typically hire a sludge dredge contractor to remove and dewater this, but will geo-bags work as well and be cheaper?

Thank you for asking. Yes, our dewatering bags and tubes are made to do this. It really depends on the % of water vs. sludge to determine the correct size and type.

I would guess % solids at 25%, and a volume of roughly 700 cubic yards (wet) total.

I have a questionnaire that really helps us to determine the proper solution for your project.

Thanks. I will also need input on how best to get the slurry up and into the bag. Do you also recommend slurry pumps, how to mix to re-suspend solids prior to transfer pumping, etc.?

My pleasure. Yes, we can assist you with all your dewatering requirements. I will need to present it to our Granite Environmental technical team for their expertise.
