...M.G.A. Guimarães; D.C. Urashima; D.M. Vidal ABSTRACT: Sludges generated during purification of water for human consumption are produced in large volumes and have high environmental polluting potential. The sludge dewatering technique using geotextile closed systems has been used to reduce...

...A. H. Aydilek; T. B. Edil A study of the filtration behaviour of contaminated wastewater treatment sludges was conducted. The laboratory portion of the study included a series of filtration tests with different nonwoven geotextiles. Filtration performance of the sludge–nonwoven-geotextile systems...

...A.H. Aydilek; T.B. Edil Capping of contaminated soft sediments and sludges for in situ containment provides an efficient remediation alternative. Capping design typically involves the use of geosynthetics for multiple functions, e.g., reinforcement, separation, and filtration. Filtration...

...W. Haegeman; W.F. Van Impe The effectiveness of a drainage system used for vacuum consolidation of dredged sludge is very important since it affects consolidation of the sludge and the removal of drained water. The performance of soil-geotextile systems in a filtration test under unidirectional...
