Bridging the gap between efficiency and sustainability is essential when planning a dewatering operation. The TenCate Geotube helps manage this balancing act.

Not all drainage systems are equally green. A decisive factor when it comes to the carbon footprint of an operation is, among other things, the amount and source of energy needed. Over the years, and thanks to its significant and proven specific advantages, site operators appreciate the absence of investment costs, efficiency, safety and reliability of TenCate Geotube.

Less energy, more sustainability

Dewatering operations in the mining industry, environmental dredging operations, wastewater treatment, and non-woven geo-textile fabric other industrial operations have traditionally used centrifuges, belt presses, filter presses, and other mechanical dewatering equipment that require energy to operate.

Solutions with lower energy consumption than traditional methods are an attractive alternative for sustainable dewatering operations. Knowing how much energy is needed and how the energy is produced is therefore vital when evaluating the ecological footprint of operations.
