The
bag is made of a close weave textile which aids the dewatering
process.
Sedi-filters
are engineered to withstand pressure at the base which allows for
stacking .
The
Sedi-filters can be made to almost any size, depending on
application. The standard size is 7mt wide x 33 mt long -
with a volume of approximately 250m3.
Filling
is via pumping, the dorsal openings at the top centre of the bag
combine an entry port and sleeve, this allows a pipe to be
inserted and clamped inside the sleeve. Filling is controlled
through a manifold/valve system, each tube is filled and allowed
to dewater. Once dewatered the Sedi-filter is filled again and the
process is repeated until the dewatered sediment volume is approximately
80%.
A
wide variety of treatments can be applied to the slurry during and
after pumping. Air lines can be run through and clamped in place and microbes
added, as well as mixing and agitation.
