Geotube® technology has a proven record in dewatering a wide range of sludge from a wide range of industries; Municipal Waste water, mine sediment, contaminate wastes, food processing. This same technology can also be utilised in the agriculture sector for desludging dairy, piggery and poultry waste ponds.
 
Using Geotube® dewatering technology the waste sludge volume is reduced so can effectively reduce the lagoon size, reduce labor and energy for land application by 50-70%, while also containing nutrients and providing higher quality flush water. On dairy farms, Geotube® containers dewater the liquid from the lagoon trapping 90% or greater solids and up to 80% Nitrogen and 60% phosphorus. After time, the sludge in the Geotube® units dewaters, making the contained nutrient rich solids easier to transport and apply to pasture and crops.

Geotube® dewatering system can even be set up inline, so you prevent solids from entering a lagoon. You store water for irrigation, not waste you have to deal with later. The system doesn't interrupt other operations.

Lining of effluent ponds is critical to ensure waste is contained and prevented from entering the waterways.
