GEOTUBE Dewatering containers
GEOTUBE® dewatering containers are an effective dewatering technology fabricated from a specially engineered textile which provides confinement of fine solids inside the container, while allowing water to permeate through the engineered textile. As the water drains, the solids continue to densify and consolidate over time. Once the solids are fully consolidated or have met minimum requirements for transport, several options are available for disposal of the dewatered material.

Recovering fertilizer from palm oil mill effluent (POME) with GEOTUBE dewatering technology
GEOTUBE units are used to dewater the POME sludge. The units retain the solid particles within the tube, while the liquid can be recycled back through the plant or discharged through the polishing ponds.
