Do you have Dewatering Sludge Tubes?
(Bellevue, Washington)
I am looking for sludge dewatering bags to remove sludge in my settling pond. Do you have these? What are the typical sizes they come in?
Thank you for contacting us! We do offer Dewatering Bags for sludge and waste water applications. These units are designed to easily filter out your waste materials so you can avoid fines and shutdowns. As an economical alternative to large systems and machines, these dewatering bags can help to keep you in compliance with NPDES phase II and the Clean Water Act.
In terms of size, these dewatering bags have multiple configurations to fit the surface area you have available. Typical sizes include:
Length
- 50'
- 100'
- 150'
- 200'
- Width when Laying Flat:
- 7.5'
- 15'
- 22.5'
- 30'
- 37.5'
- 45'
- Circumference:
- 15' (Estimated tube height of 3.5 ft and tube volume of 0.6 cu/ft)
- 30 '(Estimated tube height of 5 ft and tube volume of 2 cu/ft)
- 45' (Estimated tube height of 5.5 ft and tube volume of 3.5 cu/ft)
- 60 '(Estimated tube height of 6 ft and tube volume of 5.4 cu/ft)
- 75' and 90' diameters also available
Having this wide selection of sizes can allow you to find the sludge dewatering bags that will best fit your space or area for the dewatering process.
In addition to these sizes, dewatering bags are also available in 3 different fabrics. Each fabric contains some of the following features:
- Woven geotextile: This kind of material filters out sludge and sediment, while still allowing clean water to flow out of the bag.
- UV Stabilization: Having a dewatering bag that is UV stabilized can greatly contribute the long-lasting quality of your unit. Since many of these operations occur in outdoor locations, having equipment that is equipped to handle sunlight is essential.
- Fabric used is made of either the polypropylene or polyester material, depending on your specific site requirements.
For larger operations where you will be using a tube with a 30, 45 or 60' circumference, we recommend the 4 x 6 Monofilament Geotextile Fabric. You might also consider the use of a flocculent which helps improve the solidification, filtering and discharge rates.
