Geotextile tube sizes vary, reaching 15 to 30 metres as required, and the tube can be filled with aggregate, sand or soil. *Main materials used […]
Palm Oil Effluent Treatment: Geotube Dewatering Case Study
Project Background & Challenges At a palm oil mill in West Kalimantan, management faced a capacity crisis at their wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Their anaerobic and aerobic ponds were filling with sediment at an extremely fast rate, making geotube dewatering for palm oil mill effluent (POME) an urgent need. POME is a liquid waste with […]
POME Dewatering Geotube for Palm Oil Waste
POME Dewatering Geotube as an Effective Palm Oil Mill Effluent Treatment Method What Is a Geotube? Geotube is an advanced technological innovation in geosynthetics. It is made from geotextile with high tensile strength and high permeability for various construction applications. A Geotube structure must be designed with sufficient strength to withstand pumping pressure and provide […]
