Simple, cost-effective and efficient - GeoPro™ Tubes are a sustainable, efficient dewatering solution to high water content sludge or slurry.
GeoPro™ Desludging Tubes & Bags
Offering a non-mechanical method of dewatering, sludge from the pond is pumped into the tubes, solids and fine particles are retained while clear filtrate is released through the porous material of the tube.
GeoPro™ Tubes are fabricated with both monofilament and multifilament yarns to produce a high-strength woven polypropylene (PP) fabric. Its specialist weaving structure ensures the right balance between high permeability and solids retention.
Dewatering runs in cycles: fill, drain, repeat. Each fill consolidates the retained solids further, so the process needs time and a prepared laydown area with containment and a filtrate return path. Tubes are a passive system — they trade speed for low energy use and minimal plant. Where a site needs immediate volume reduction in hours rather than days, mechanical dewatering is the better fit.
Polymer selection is not optional. The correct flocculant for the specific sediment is what makes the fill-and-drain cycle work; the wrong one blinds the fabric and stalls the tube.
