Solve your challenges with sludge from wastewater treatment plants, industrial production or fish farms, as well as sediment from lakes, harbors and stormwater ponds
The technology behind Solmax Geotube® is proven with many references in Denmark, and can be used in a simple and environmentally friendly way for dewatering sludge from wastewater treatment plants or for cleaning lakes and harbor basins.
Envidan is the only distributor in Denmark to offer the original Solmax Geotube®, which is a dewatering technology for all types of sludge and sediment. It requires no permanent facilities or fixed installations. It is used to the extent necessary. Dewatering and storage are done in one and the same process.
Simple technique for all types of sludge
Minimal costs
Customised sizes
Dry matter content of 15-50%.
Minimal sludge to landfill and land application
How Solmax GeoTube® works
Solmax Geotube® works in 4 steps when dewatering sludge and sediment
Step 1: Filling
Sludge or sediment with a suitable polymer added is pumped to the bag. The polymer ensures good floc formation and therefore optimal separation of sludge and reject water. The geotextile retains particles in the bag.
Step 2: Dewatering
Drained water is returned to the treatment plant, sewage system or recipient depending on the nature of the project, while particles remain in the bag.
Step 3: Concentration
The filled bags are left for further drainage for 2-12 months, depending on the type of sludge, at which time the sludge dries out.
Step 4: Disposal
The dewatered sludge/sediment is excavated and depending on the sludge quality, the sludge is disposed of in landfill, final disposal on agricultural land or used as embedding material. The Geotube® bag is made of polypropylene and can be delivered for combustion after use.
