Sedi-filters
remove excess water from wet wastes, such as sludges, dredged silts and
washwaters, through a passive filtration process....
Solids
are held within the tube as the water passes through the fabric and flows back
to its original source, surrounding ground or another collection point.
The
result is a significant reduction in the volume of solid waste that has to be
handled and dealt with – with up to 90% of the water removed.
Dewatering
Solutions
Our cutting edge product has a strong environmental benefit, the main gain is
the removal of water from sediment transforming it into a drier state which
helps handling and enables the sediment to be disposed of to landfill or used
elsewhere.
The
Sedi-filter can be used to contain contaminated sediment whilst treatment is
applied, dewatering does not decontaminate the sediment.
Once
the solid material has dried out and decontaminated, it can be emptied out of
the tube and either spread as soil, removed from the site, or blended into the
landscape.
It
can also be used for other purposes – for example paper, pulp can be used to
make compost or compressed paper bricks for fires.
Flexible
and Effective Solutions
Our flexible Sedi-filters are highly-effective in a wide variety of dewatering
and engineering applications.
Sedi-filters
are designed to dewater large volumes of water-based slurries generated from
maintenance operations on lakes and waterways and from industrial processes.
And
they can also be used to create artificial weirs, berms and reefs in
watercourses and in marine environments for erosion control or recreation –
including surfing reefs.
Sedi-filters
have proved invaluable in construction and development projects, farming, food
processing, paper mills, conservation, as well as in the restoration and
construction of watercourses.
