　　There is a wide range of applications for sludge dewatering, including sewage plants, pulp and paper mills, and industrial plants, as well as situations in which solids and liquids need to be separated.

　　Geotubes are built using a high-strength geotextile that is ideal for dewatering and handling large volumes, as well as stacking them if necessary. To maximize the number of solids retained by the tube walls, geotextiles can be tailored to the particle size of the solids. It may be necessary to introduce a flocculent during the pumping process if the suspended solids are too fine to be gently strained by the tube walls.

　　There are many applications for the geotube use in dredging operations, including shipping lanes, water intakes, and piers for docking vessels that have a deeper keel. A variety of structures, including shoreline revetments, containment dikes, groynes, jetties, breakwaters, and many other types of structures, can all be constructed using Geotube modules. The ease of deployment and ability to fill them on-site with native soil makes them less expensive than importing fill material.
