Kontain Capability Statement — full technical and project overview

The process

From slurry to stackable cake

Geotextile dewatering tubes separate solids from water at scale — with no mechanical complexity. Slurry in, clarified water out, handleable cake ready for disposal or reuse.

01 · FILL

Slurry is pumped in

Feedstock is pumped through inlet ports, commonly with a flocculant dosed inline to bind fine particles and accelerate separation.

02 · DEWATER

Water drains out

Water permeates through the permeable geotextile fabric. Fill-and-drain cycles are repeated to build volume and maximise dryness.

03 · CONSOLIDATE

Cake forms and dries

Retained solids consolidate into a handleable cake for disposal or reuse. Clarified filtrate can often be recovered and recycled on site.

What clients say

"Kontain provided geosynthetic expertise, material guidance and design support from the start to the operational stage — the right specification for our project."

"We've never seen geobag dewatering so successful. The Kontain geobags outperformed anything we'd used previously on organic sludge."

Queensland · 2026

"Ben came on-site during scoping, worked through flocculant adjustments for the dredge spoil, and the bag specification handled the effluent quality we needed. Site prep guidance was practical and we were never left to figure it out alone."
