Dewatering Tubes

ProTubes are manufactured from a unique high flow woven GeoTextile comprising a multifilament/monofilament weave, which effectively contains sludge while resisting clogging.

The use of GeoTextiles fabricated into large bags or tubes for the containment of materials to form engineering structures in marine environments was largely developed in the USA in the late 1980’s.

In more recent times the use of such products has been extended to include the effective dewatering of sludge from a range of industrial processes. The use of such products provides a very innovative, efficient and economical alternative to the dewatering of sludge over more traditional methods.

ProTubes have proved to be an economical and effective option for dewatering both oxidation ponds and sediment ponds in a range of local conditions.

The ProTube works effectively by:

CONTAINING the fine grained material to be dewatered within the unique weave of the ProTube textile.
DEWATERING of the excess water through the specially constructed high flow pores of the ProTube textile. There is significant volume reduction of the material in this stage which allows for the repeated filling of the ProTube product in many cases.
CONSOLIDATION of the fines occurring after the final cycle of filling and dewatering. The fine grained soils contained within the ProTube continue to consolidate through desiccation with residual water vapour continuing to escape through the unique pore structure of the ProTube. This results in the most effective state for final disposal of the waste.
