Dewatering Bags


Bag Filter for Sludge Dewatering Filtration

Dewatering bags are available with bulk priving and ships to you! Sediment dewatering bags are an economical solution for any site dealing with storm water runoff, dewatering, or filtration. Easy to install, use, and empty, these bags help remove sediment so that flows from your site remain clear and free from debris. Bags have been effectively used on construction sites, dredging locations, ponds, or in other areas with polluted water.

Silt bags are constructed from an eight ounce (8 oz.) or ten ounce (10 oz.) nonwoven filter fabric that effectively removes items as water filters through the material. Each dewatering bag features a single port that can accommodate hoses up to 4" in diameter.

Our friendly staff is here to help you get the exact product you need!.

*Flow rates are based on fabric ratings. During the dewatering process, times may slow depending on the sediment content of your water and geotextile bag size. Please contact our sales team to discuss pumping rates for the duration of your project.

**Capacity is estimated only and is intended as a guide to users. Volume per bag is dependant on soil composition, site conditions, and use. Information is provided in good faith. Actual field trial are the only true bench mark for site specific results.


Dewatering Bags Disposal

Standard procedure for disposing of dewatering bags involves a process of cutting open the bag and remove/disposing of the sediment. If soil contents are contaminated or should not be disposed of in the area, bags can also be placed in dump trucks, box trucks or dumpsters for easiest transportation to a disposal site.
