Dewatering is the process of separating liquids from solids, typically in the context of waste materials or sludge. The goal is to reduce the moisture content of the waste, making it easier to handle, transport, and dispose of. This process not only reduces a significant amount of waste, it also lowers the transportation costs and minimizes the environmental impact.
Filtration is a process that involves passing a liquid or gas through a porous material, such as a filter, to separate suspended particles or contaminants from the fluid. In waste management, filtration is used to remove solid particles from liquids or gasses, improving the quality of the effluent before disposal or further treatment.
Our most cost-effective solution for separating liquids from solids in your existing containers and boxes. We carry fabric geotextile and screen mesh filter options to achieve desired micron levels and flow rates.
Perfect for dewatering a wide range of liquid waste materials, including:
Woven geotextile made of 100% polypropylene yarns. This product has high tensile strength and modulus and is used for woven reinforcement and in manufacturing geotextile sludge dewatering tubes.
Need an innovative solution for a challenging dewatering project? Our large, flexible dewatering tubes are made of geotextile fabric, which allows water to escape effortlessly while retaining any solids/waste inside. By placing our dewatering tubes on a sloped surface, you can collect the separated sludge right into a container, completing the work of two jobs in one!
Schofield Sales has the engineering capabilities to design customizable filtration systems, utilizing everything from our woven, non-woven, polyspun, and spunbond geotextiles and geomembranes to our tailor-made polypropylene meshes, ensuring you can capture all of the contaminants and chemicals you want removed.
