In Municipal, Geotextile Tube Containers, USA, Dewatering, Polymers, Dewatering bags, Dredging

After Priest River WWTP lost its biosolids hauling contract, WaterSolve and Clearwater Dewatering provided a Geotube® dewatering system using Solve 218C polymer. The city built a new containment bed and trained staff to manage polymer dosing, achieving efficient sludge drying and reliable landfill disposal.

OBJECTIVE

The city set up their own polymer injection system and used polymer (Solve 218C) from Watersolve LLC to floc the sludge before going into the unit. They constructed a new containment bed to place the Geotube® unit. A unit was sent to the city to fit into the new containment area.

GEOTUBE® CONTAINER SIZING

The city set up their own polymer injection system and used polymer (Solve 218C) from Watersolve LLC to floc the sludge before going into the unit. They constructed a new containment bed to place the Geotube® unit. A unit was sent to the city to fit into the new containment area.

THE RESULT

Clearwater Dewatering worked with the city Wastewater Treatment Plant superintendent and personnel in the proper procedures to install and fill the Geotube® unit. The city was instructed on how to adjust their polymer dosage and to test the mixing rate before going into the unit. The city has a digester tank to hold their solids, prior to transfer to the Geotube® units, two or three times a week. After the Geotube® units are filled and dewatered, they are cut open and hauled to a landfill for final disposal.
