Geotube® Dewatering Technology
The Low Cost, High Volume Dewatering Solution
Geotube® dewatering technology has become the dewatering method of choice for organizations around the world. Geotube® dewatering technology is used for projects large and small, and there is good reason -- simplicity and low cost.
There are no belts, gears, or complicated mechanics. Geotube® containers are constructed of high-strength, permeable, specially engineered textiles designed for containment and dewatering of high moisture content sludge and sediment. They are available in a variety of sizes, depending on your volume and space requirements. Geotube® systems can even be mounted in mobile roll-off containers that can be transported around your property as necessary. It's one of the most versatile dewatering technologies available.
And one of the most effective. Volume reduction can be as much as 90%, with high solid levels that make removal and disposal easy. Our dewatering technology also allows for profitable recovery of valuable solids.
