OwaGtube - geotube filtration unit

Owatec geotube filtration solution separates water from the sludge before transportation to the final disposal site. Effective sludge management reduces the number of transports saving the company expensive and environmentally burdensome processes.

The volume of the geotube filter is 20 m3 and the capacity, depending on the quality of the sludge, is 10 – 40 m3/h. The achievable dry matter content can reach up to 90%. The geotube filter built inside the container is easy to use, and its change is always controlled.

The modular solution enables geotube filtering usage in changing locations.

Examples by industries:

  • Dewatering municipal wastewater sludge
  • Concentrating oil sludge
  • Filtering coagulated impurities
  • Filtering and drying clay, sand and other fine material
  • Dewatering peat sludge
