DEWATERING BAGS AND GEOTEXTILE TUBES

Geotextile Tubes

Syn-Tex dewatering bags and tubes are custom-built containers made of geotextile fabrics carefully chosen to fit the requirements of the job. Sewn together by a skilled labor force that takes pride on the quality of their workmanship, our tubes are a very cost effective alternative when dewatering large quantities of high liquid content waste such as municipal lagoons and septic systems, animal, or industrial waste, and marine sediments. See how they work below.

How they work

Step one – Conditioning

Once it has been determined what type of fabric suits the job better, the sludge should be conditioned prior to be deposited on the tubes. The conditioning could be as simple as just pumping the sludge as it sits in the reservoir, or as complex as to add different types of chemicals to help the solids consolidate and separate from the water.

Step two – Filling

The sludge is then pumped into the tubes, and the dewatering begins.

Step three – Dewatering and refilling

Once the different sections of the tube have been filled, the tube is left alone for a period of time until it has dewatered enough so that more sludge can be pumped into it. The refilling can be done as many times as necessary.

Step four – Disposal

Once it has been determined that the dewatering process has accomplished the desired goal the tubes can be cut open and the solids can be appropriately disposed of.
