GeoPool - Dewatering System
The GeoPool Dewatering System is an innovative solution designed for efficient dewatering of various materials such as clay, municipal sludge, and industrial sludges. Its robust hot dip galvanized steel construction ensures durability, while its modular frame system allows for scalable configurations based on project footprint and capacity requirements. The system features a unique patented Dump Door technology that expedites the release of settled surface water, distinguishing it from traditional fabric and mechanical dewatering technologies. GeoPool’s non-mechanical design eliminates the need for power or moving parts, minimizing maintenance costs and making it economical to operate compared to centrifuges, filter presses, and dryers. The system's ease of assembly is a significant advantage, with only 2-4 trucks needed to transport the frames, enabling setup within 5-7 days. Furthermore, GeoPool incorporates reusable components, reducing long-term operational costs.
- Modular frames, Clean Out Gates, and Dump Doors.
- Filter Fabric (choice of Type-A or Type-B)
- Assembly hardware kit
- Assembly tool kit
- Assembly supervision and on-site training by a factory technician
- All weather Operations and Maintenance Manual storage box.
Inexpensive
Since the filter fabric can be easily replaced after it wears out dewatering costs can be reduced significantly. The price to re-line the largest GeoPool which can handle up to 14,000 yds3 (10,704m3) is less than $3,000 US or less than the price of a small single geotextile tube. Maintenance is inexpensive and replacement frames, dump doors, gates, and fabric are a phone call away.
Reusable
The GeoPool’s robust steel construction is hot dip galvanized and made to last. The GeoPool’s clean out gates allow the pool to be cleaned out and be put immediately back into service again and again.
Scalable
The GeoPool’s modular frames allow it to be sized up or sized down for a specific project based on the allowable foot print or required dewatering capacity.
Rapid Dewatering
The patented Dump Door technology allows for rapid release of settled surface water instead of having to pass directly through the fabric. This bulk dewatering advantage sets the GeoPool apart from other fabric dewatering technologies and mechanical dewatering technologies.
Versatile
The GeoPool can be used to dewater a variety of materials. When discharging ultra fine particles like clay, municipal sludge or certain industrial sludges, it is recommended to use a polymer / floc.
Non-Mechanical
The GeoPool requires no power and has no moving parts reducing overall maintenance and service costs over the lifespan of the equipment.
No Power Required
Since GeoPools require no power they are much less expensive to operate than centrifuges, filter presses, and dryers.
Easy Assembly
The GeoPool does not require an army of dump trucks to haul material in to construct a dewatering berm. Instead 2-4 trucks will deliver the frames to the job site and the modular GeoPool sections can be bolted together with the provided tool kit and hardware kit supplied with the GeoPool. Depending on the size of the pool you can have a complete dewatering site in less than 5-7 days.
