Magnetite recovery from process plant sumps using geotextile dewatering tubes
Projects
Information
The containment sumps at coal process plant have been filled with spilt magnetite over a period of time. It is estimated that the sumps at the plant contains in the order of 1800 m3 of sludge. Xtreme Pumps, together with ZebraTube®, initiated a trial that aimed at pumping the magnetite-containing sludge into a ZebraTube® geotextile dewatering bag, allowing for fast and efficient dewatering and containment of the material.
