Geobag (GB)

A Geobag (GB) is a simple cost-effective method of dewatering sludge. It uses a specialised geotextile bag to remove water from sludge, sediment, or other fine-grained materials. It’s a containment and dewatering solution commonly employed in environmental remediation, construction, and wastewater treatment.

ABCO Water’s standard Geobag dewatering systems include 2 x steel skip bins with geobags (twin-alternating configuration) and are typically used for dewatering of wastewater treatment (sewage) plant sludge. Supernatant or liquid wastewater is transferred back to the balance tank (recycled) via either the wastewater pump station or a dedicated return sump. GB systems can be either stand-alone or as part of a complete treatment system or as post treatment to other technologies.

Product Benefits

  • Efficient dewatering of sludge and sediment
  • Reduced footprint compared to traditional dewatering methods like drying beds
  • Containment of solids, preventing contamination of surrounding areas
  • Flexibility in sizing and configuration to suit different project needs
  • Ease of installation and operation, requiring minimal equipment and labour
  • Environmentally sustainable, natural process that reduces chemical usage

Typical Applications

  • Decentralised wastewater treatment plants, dewatering sewage sludge
  • Industrial wastewater treatment, dewatering wastewater and sludge generated from production processes
  • Contaminated site remediation, dewatering of contaminated sludge or soil
  • Agricultural applications, dewatering manure, agricultural runoff, and organic waste streams
  • Construction and demolition sites, dewatering excavated soil, construction slurry, and equipment wash water
