UNDERWATER MINERAL PROCESSING

TenCate™ Geotube© containers are fabricated from specially engineered, high-strength polyproplene textiles. This fabric has a unique design, creating small pores to confine the grains of the contained material. The tubes can be filled with fine-grain sludge, hazardous contaminated soils or dredged waste materials... Excess water drains from the Geotube® container through the pores in the fabric, which results in effective dewatering and volume reduction. In most cases the decanted water is of a quality that can be returned to native waterways or reused... After the final cycle of filling and dewatering, the retained materials will continue to consolidate as the water vapor escapes through the pores in the Geotube® container.
