Green Rhino - Green Rhino Sediment Filters for Dewatering

SHARE
Green Rhino Sediment Filters provide an efficient solution for dewatering activities that helps ensure compliance with environmental regulations. These filters are designed to capture and remove sediment from water that is being discharged from excavations, effectively reducing the likelihood of environmental contamination. By fitting over the discharge hose's end, the sediment filters facilitate the removal of particles, allowing the cleaned water to be safely released into natural water systems or drains. Made from durable materials, these reusable filter bags offer a practical alternative to bulky settlement tanks and expensive vacuum tankers. The filters can be used with a standard 2-inch pump and can be scaled using the Green Rhino Manifold System to handle higher flow rates. Additionally, the system is engineered to handle pressure buildup, preventing damage through a thoughtful design that includes breakable cable ties for safe detachment. These filters are available in different variants, including those specifically designed for fine sediments or areas with hydrocarbon presence, making them adaptable for various dewatering scenarios.

Sediment filters are the easy way to stay compliant with environmental regulations when dewatering excavations. They fit over the end of your discharge hose and filter out sediment. The cleaned water can be discharged directly into the environment or surface water drains.

  • More cost-effective than vacuum tankers or settlement tanks
  • Ease of use encourages compliant behaviour
  • Water discharged to Environment Agency accepted levels (150µm)
  • Rugged filters built for repeated use (up to 20x)
  • 20kg or 40kg sediment capacity

Why do you need a sediment filter?

Silt or sediment is a contaminant. When pumping water out of excavations, you have a legal obligation to filter out sediment before discharging into surface water drains or natural waterways. When working by the roadside, you also have a responsibility to keep pavements and roads clean and safe. Muddy or oily water can create a slip or skid risk.

Failure to abide by the law can lead to fines, prosecution, loss of contracts and clean-up costs. If you work in utility maintenance, fines and unbudgeted costs can wipe out your wafer-thin margins.

These rugged and reusable sediment filter bags provide an easy-to-use and cost-effective alternative to settlement tanks and vacuum tankers. Green Rhino dewatering filters clean water to regulator-approved standards. You may also know these filters by other names such as sediment dewatering filter bags, silt bags, filter socks or silt socks.

What are the benefits of a sediment filter?

With a Green Rhino Sediment Filter and a pump you have a dewatering solution you can deploy within minutes. It’s the easy way to comply with the law and much more cost-effective than using third party contractors to clean or remove the contaminated water.

Your workers are under pressure to get the work done. Help encourage compliant behaviour by providing environmental solutions that are hard-wearing, effective and quick to deploy.

Scalable & cost-effective system

Green Rhino dewatering filters offer an easy to deploy solution which can be scaled up to achieve higher flow rates. Up to eight sediment dewatering filters can be harnessed using the Green Rhino Manifold System. This reusable system delivers the flow rate and filtration capacity of a settlement tank without the expensive hire costs.
