Millions of gallons of sludge have been pumped into Geotube^® containers for containment and dewatering of industrial waste, municipal sludge, and marine sediments. Paper mills, chemical companies, and nuclear power plants are just a few of the clients that have benefited from Geotube^® technology.

Geotube^® containers are the simplest high-volume dewatering system ever.  There are no moving parts  , and a minimum amount of labor is required to run dewatering equipment.  Geotube^®  containers 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.  Your Geotube^® system can be operational in a very short time.

Qualifies for EQIP Funding

Geotube^® technology is designated as a Practice standard by the USDA NRCA (National Resource Conservation service).  As such it can qualify for up to 75% matching funding from the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).

How it works:

Containment: High strength permeable geotextiles® with uniquely designed retention properties are fabricated into Geotubess^®  that can be filled with fine grain sludge, hazardous contaminated soils, or dredged waste materials.

Dewatering: Excess water drains from the Geotubes^®  through the small pores in the geotextiles® resulting in effective dewatering and efficient volume reduction of the contained material. This volume reduction allows for the repeated filling of the Geotubes^®  . In many cases the decanted water is of a quality that can be returned to native waterways or for reuse.

Consolidation: After the final cycle of filling and dewatering, the retained fine grain materials can continue to consolidate by evaporation as the residual water vapor escapes through the geotextile®.
