GEOPRO™ DESLUDGING TUBES

These high strength, porous tubes are used to dewater the sediment pumped by the GeoPro™ Microdredge, Mudcat 40E or the Dragflow pump. This economical low energy sludge drying system can be used to dewater a variety of municipal contaminated and industrial sediments.

Their purpose is to contain the pumped solids while quickly releasing filtrate water. They are usually situated in a prescribed laydown area which directs the filtrate back to the water body or convenient sump.

We hold a variety of sizes in stock and custom sizes are available on request.

Chemistry is the key element to getting the tubes to work efficiently especially with organic sediments such as WWTP sludges. Determining the right polymer and the dosing is vital. Too little and the tube takes too long to dewater, too much and you risk blinding the tube.

We can support you by providing the following: - 
Advice on polymer dosing equipment;
In-house testing of your sludge/slurry;
Sizing of tubes and quantity estimates;
Assistance with the sizing and design of your tube laydown area.
        

SEDIMENT ANALYSIS

We use our own laboratory to assist customers in determining the best method for drying their sediments.

All lagoons, lakes and process water will contain different solids, sludge or sedimentation. Because of this it is important to have samples analysed to determine the most efficient and cost effective way to handle them. We can test the effectiveness of a wide range of Polymers on your samples. This will allow us to recommend the best type of polymer to aid in flocculation and dewatering, the quantity of polymer required and the correct sized dosing unit. We also works closely with one of WA’s leading NATA accredited labs. This means we can offer a comprehensive water quality monitoring service and the ability to test for a wide range of contaminants’ or nutrient loading depending on your requirements.

GEOPRO™ FLOCMATE

Polymers are a key ingredient in the sludge dewatering process. If a concentrated polymer is made down or diluted correctly and injected into the waste water stream a solids/liquid separation will take place. The suspended solids particles are flocculated into larger particles which makes it easier to dewater than an untreated waste.

GeoPro™ Flocmate polymers are available with various Cationic, Anionic or Non-Ionic charges with different molecular weights in an emulsion or dry powder form. Testing of polymers and advice can be provided by our specialist Lab Analysis team to ensure you are paired with the correct polymer to suit your project requirements.
