Geotube® Containment and Dewatering technology was used to dispose of slurry waste from North River Mine.

Geotube® containers were selected to dewater the sediment dredged from a lagoon ant this Ohio steel manufacturing plant in the fall of 2008. The objective was to remove the material from the lagoon and dewater it to pass a paint filter test for subsequent hauling to a landfill. WaterSolve, LLC furnished the personal to monitor the polymer injection throughout the project as well and the equipment and supplies to for the Geotube® dewatering system.

A stormwater retention basin in a Kentucky stone quarry had accumulated sediment and needed to be cleaned to restore the storage capacity during rain events. In a two week time period a dredge filled 1,100 linear ft of Geotube® with the chemically conditioned sediment. The dewatered material reached 85% dry wt solids at completion of the project.

This copper mine in Utah annually removes solids from its wash-water sediment pond and now prefers dredging the residuals and dewatering them in Geotube® containers prior to processing them through the plant to reclaim the precious metals. WaterSolve, LLC provides the polymer make-down equipment, polymer, Geotube® containers, and site management for the tubes. The mine has reduced the risk of puncturing the liner along with heavy fines caused by previous excavation processes.
