TITANTube Dewatering Solutions
High-flow geotextile dewatering tubes for sludge, sediment, slurry and industrial waste streams.
Terravua supplies engineered TITANTube dewatering systems for mining, municipal, agricultural and industrial waste applications. Our geotextile dewatering tubes are designed to separate water from sludge and slurry while retaining solids inside the tube.
Whether the requirement is sludge volume reduction, pond clean-out, wastewater treatment support, tailings management or process water recovery, TITANTube offers a practical, scalable and cost-effective alternative to traditional drying beds, open ponds and basic sludge bags.
Sludge Dewatering Tubes
TITANTube geotextile tubes are used to dewater municipal sludge, industrial sludge, lagoon waste, pond sediment and process waste. Water filters through the engineered fabric while solids are captured inside the tube.
Municipal Wastewater Applications
Wastewater treatment works can use dewatering tubes to manage sludge backlogs, emergency clean-outs, drying bed overloads and lagoon maintenance. The system reduces sludge volume and improves handling for disposal or further treatment.
Polymer-Assisted Dewatering
Terravua can supply polymer testing, flocculant selection and dosing equipment to improve solids capture and drainage rates. Correct polymer conditioning is often the difference between poor drainage and effective dewatering.
Mining & Tailings Dewatering
For mines and mineral processing plants, TITANTube systems assist with slurry handling, tailings reduction, fines recovery and dirty water management. The system can be installed as a temporary, semi-permanent or staged dewatering solution.
Industrial & Agricultural Waste
Food processing plants, abattoirs, farms, dairies and other industries generate organic sludge and wash-down waste that can be difficult to manage. TITANTube helps reduce water content, recover usable water and simplify waste handling.
Site-Specific System Support
We assist with tube sizing, layout planning, filling strategy, flow requirements, polymer dosing, trial testing and project implementation.
Why TITANTube?
TITANTube is not just another dewatering bag. It is an engineered geotextile tube system built for demanding sludge and slurry applications where flow, capture, strength and reliability matter.
​
The tube fabric allows water to pass through while retaining solids inside the containment structure. This helps clients reduce sludge volume, improve waste handling, recover water and reduce reliance on large drying areas.
​
TITANTube systems can be used on mines, wastewater treatment works, farms, industrial sites, dredging projects and contaminated sediment clean-up projects.

How the Dewatering Process Works
The process starts with understanding the sludge. Terravua can assist with sample testing to confirm solids content, polymer response and drainage behaviour before recommending a full-scale system.
Once the correct polymer and tube configuration are selected, the sludge is pumped through a conditioning point where flocculant can be added. The conditioned sludge enters the TITANTube, where solids are retained and clean filtrate drains through the geotextile fabric.
Over time, the retained solids consolidate inside the tube, reducing the volume of wet waste and making the material easier to handle, transport or dispose of.
Steps:
-
Sludge sample review and testing
-
Polymer screening and flocculation trial
-
Tube sizing and layout recommendation
-
Pumping and filling setup
-
Dewatering and filtrate release
-
Consolidation and final handling
A Smarter Alternative to Sludge Bags and Drying Beds
Many sites search for sludge bags, dewatering bags, filter bags, filter tubes or geobags when they need a way to dry sludge or manage waste streams. TITANTube performs in this same category but offers an engineered, project-focused solution for clients who need more than a basic bag.
​
By combining geotextile tube technology, polymer conditioning and practical site support, Terravua helps clients improve dewatering performance, reduce water content, lower disposal volumes and manage sludge more effectively.
​
This makes TITANTube suitable for wastewater sludge, mine slurry, dredged sediment, agricultural waste, industrial sludge and other difficult waste streams where conventional drying methods are slow, costly or space-intensive.
