Envitube dewatering technology
SINCE the introduction of geotextile dewatering technology into the domestic market in 2001, Dredging Solutions has been at the forefront of utilising geotextile tubes for a variety of different projects.
Envitubes are high strength woven geotextile bags suitable for mining and industrial applications and can handle a wide range of materials; having successfully been utilised to dewater fly ash ponds, restore capacity to run off ponds and isolate contaminated marine sediment.
Envitubes represent an attractive alternative compared to dewatering via centrifuge and belt press, highlighted by 24-hour continuous passive dewatering, excellent filtrate quality, high capture rate and unmatched feed flows.
They are highly suitable for projects with ample space available on site and time to allow the material to passively dewater.
The benefit of utilising Envitubes is emphasised by low CAPEX and OPEX costs compared to mechanical dewatering alternatives.
Envitubes are engineered to cater for up to 400m3 per/h of material, while traditionally mechanical dewatering methods are limited to processing 80m3 per/h of material.
This increase in capacity leads to significant reduction in the active pumping time and the overheads associated with the project.
Envitubes can be manufactured to suit the specific size and space requirements of individual projects, which allows for capacity to be carefully managed and ultimately optimised.
Dredging Solutions provide nationwide contract dredging and dewatering services utilising Envitubes.
Underpinned by a versatile fleet of dredges that are suitable for harvesting material from a wide variety of situations, Dredging Solutions is your sludge management expert.
