Geotextile dewatering of ultrafines without the need for flocculant addition
The dewatering of ultrafines has represented a challenging territory for various industries for some time. Zebratube® would typically assess a slurry’s particle size distribution and if the feed contained more than 30% of particles below 10 µm, the addition of flocculant to increase solids agglomeration would typically be required in order to ensure sufficient solids retention and good filtrate quality.
Zebratube® recognised the need for a dewatering bag that would retain these ultrafines without the additional operating and capital cost-implications associated with flocculation addition.
The ZebraTex composite lined geotextile was developed to address the need for a dewatering bag that can cost-effectively and efficiently retain and dewater ultra-fines.
