Dewatering of fly ash

Sustainable dewatering of fly ash slurries

Dewatering tubes provide a more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable technology for containing and treating fly ash or pulverized fuel ash (PFA) from the combustion process in power stations.

You can dewater slurry using Enka-D-Tube geosynthetic tubes. Tubes can be positioned in bays for ease of use, typically with one tube being filled, one standing while dewatering and dry tubes being excavated and removed.

APPLICATIONS IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Enka-D-Tubes are pumped to 70-80% capacity enabling rapid dewatering of the slurry. This is helped by using Enkadrain beneath the tube for dewatering through the full circumference.

APPLICATIONS IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Our solution

Dewatering using geosynthetics

• Remove water from any sludge.
• More sustainable than traditional settling ponds.
• Re-use dewatered ash as bone-dry construction material.
• Avoid air pollution and minimise environmental issues.

APPLICATIONS IN EVERYDAY LIFE

• Volume reductions up to 85%.
• Enkadrain drainage mat under the tube will facilitate run-off.

APPLICATIONS IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Functions

• Filtration.
• Containment.

• Drainage.
