For Disposable Filter Applications
The GeoCat Models are dewatering boxes that use disposable filter media. The GeoCat is designed to be used with sticky, slimy, slightly oily, non-uniform, non-specific, colloidal, or simply hard to dewater sludge where flocculation is not an option. The GeoCat is also useful for dewatering operations in which the residual sludge cake would present a clean-up issue, as the disposable filter is discarded with the filter cake.
They are a cost effective way to collect, dewater, transport and dump all kinds of sludges, slurries, and wet solids.
Applications:
- Water treatment plant sludge
- Alum sludge
- Gas scrubber ash
- Arsenic/heavy metal sludge
- Industrial plant waste streams
- Food processing waste water
- Chemical plant waste discharges
- Vac truck waste
- Various waste water applications
- Heavy duty carbon steel construction (optional stainless steel)
- Designed to be handled by a standard fork truck
- Typical (2) 2” drain ports located at the bottom on each side at opposing ends
- Filter media is disposable but can be reused in certain situations
- Filter support panels made of expanded metal and perforated plates (optional materials available for support panels)
- Disposable filter media is available in 3, 4, 6, and 10 ounce fabric as well as a woven 40 mesh polypropylene filter and is made into an envelope shape, held in place by bag hooks around the top perimeter of the hopper
- A double wall filter element that splits the hopper into two compartments is an available option
- Dump Hopper sizes recommended: 3, 4, and 5 cubic yards
