Perth Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Management Facility The Challenge:
Treating particle-laden
process water from the
coagulation tanks at WTP
Eliminating discharge of
solids to the Tay River
Conserve precious capacity
in the town’s sewage
lagoons
$7 million to build a
conventional treatment
facility
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
Perth Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Management Facility The Solution:
Geotube® system designed and
developed by Bishop Water
Technologies
Geotube® system, will
reduce the amount of solids
discharging into the river,
from 2,000 mg of solids per
litre per day to 25 mg of solids
per litre per day
More than 300 dry metric tons
of solids will be diverted from
the Tay River per year.

Perth Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Management Facility The Pilot Project:
Full scale facility for pilot
project was installed
• 40 cubic meter mix tank
• polymer trailer
• 2 Geotube MDS units in
roll off bins
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
Perth Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Management Facility The Pilot Project:
2 siphons each drained 4
times a day total 18 cubic
meters each siphon for a
total of 144 cubic meters
a day or 0.4 dry tons of
solids per day released to
Tay River.
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
Perth Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Management Facility The Pilot Project:
Polymer trailer was
installed between mix
tank and MDS Geotube
units. Will make down in
real time a 0.5% polymer
solution.
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
Perth Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Management Facility The Pilot Project:
Each Geotube unit is able
to hold 20 cubic meters of
dewatered material
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
Perth Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Management Facility The Pilot Project:
Filtrate from the Geotube
units was discharged
during pilot to the Tay
river.
TSS of the siphon wash
was up to 3000 mg/L
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
Perth Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Management Facility The Pilot Project:
The filtrate was
discharged into the Tay
river TSS ranged between
25-5 mg/L

What is Geotube® Dewatering Technology?
Geotube® containers are
custom fabricated with
seaming techniques that
withstand pressure during
pumping operations.
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
What is Geotube® Dewatering Technology?
• Geotube® units are constructed of
a specially-engineered textile
designed for dewatering
• High flow rate allows residual
materials to dewater, while
containing solids
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
What is Geotube® Dewatering Technology?
• Vertically integrated
• ISO 9001 Certified
• Every Geotube® unit we make can be traced back
• Our testing labs are A2LA certified, and are re-certified yearly
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
CONTAINMENT PHASE
The Geotube® unit
is pumped with
sludge material
How Geotube® Dewatering Technology Works
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
DEWATERING PHASE
As the liquid escapes
from the tube, solid
particles are trapped
inside. The pumping
process is repeated
until the tube is full.
How Geotube® Dewatering Technology Works
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
CONSOLIDATION PHASE
Eventually, the solids can
be handled as dry material,
increasing options for
transportation and disposal
How Geotube® Dewatering Technology Works
Bishop Water Technologies Inc.
