GEOSIN was pioneered on the introduction of Geotube® technology in Iberia market. Worldwide recognized, this system has broad applicability in hydraulic works but also on dewater material with high moisture content. GEOSIN provides and contribute with TenCate solutions to the increase of its performance, reducing costs and providing measurable results. Therefore, we always work with our clients to provide the most advanced and effective solutions.
The Low Cost, High Volume Dewatering Solution
Geotube® dewatering technology has become the method of choice for organizations around the world. It is used for projects large and small, and there’s good reason; simplicity and low cost.
Since Geotube® dewatering technology works without belts or gears, there are less moving parts, less wear, less downtime and less spare parts then in conventional techniques.
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. It’s one of the most versatile dewatering technologies available. Thereby it is one of the most effective solutions available.Volume reduction can be as much as 90%, with high solid levels that make removal and disposal easy.
Process
1 – Filling
Sludge is pumped into the Geotube® unit. To these are added polymers, environmentally safe, which will contribute to a separation of the solid part and the liquid part. The unique construction of the textile material that is made Geotube® will confine the entire solid part as the most fine particles of those slurries.
2 – Filtration
Excess water is expelled out from Geotube® through the small pores of the geotextile, resulting in an effective dewatering and significant volume reduction of contained material. This volume reduction still allows the Geotube® be refilled several times. In many cases, the dewatered water is of such quality that can either return to the natural current, as even back to be reused in the process.
3 – Consolidation
All dry matter remains stored within the Geotube® unit. Depending on the initial % dry matter, volume reduction is often greater than 90%. By the other hand, the cake dryness achieved with Geotube, when compared with any other alternative methods of dewatering, is much higher. When fully saturated and dewatered, Geotube® and its contents can be deposited in a landfill or solid matter can be removed and applied on the ground when appropriate.
