Application of geotextile containers for removal of silt layers of the Krasnodar reservoir

Abstract

The article deals with the issues of improving the methods of removing silt layers of the Krasnodar reservoir using geotextile containers. The new technology exceeds all the characteristics of the dewatering facilities available in Russia. The necessary stage of preparation of wastes for disposal is dewatering to a humidity of 50-60%, which allows you to reduce their volume tenfold and improve the structure of raw materials. For these purposes, Russia has quite a lot of different structures and a large number of sludge dewatering methods. For the construction of sludge dewatering facilities and various types of precipitation of sewage, much less time and economic costs are required than for the construction of mechanical cleaning facilities. Also, new technologies occupy quite a little free land area compared to silt sites and they do not depend on climatic factors because atmospheric precipitation falling on the container drains from its surface. The impact of negative temperatures provides the deep moisture drainage after thawing of organogenic silts and hydroxide slimes. Also, new technologies occupy. Geotextile container technology is ideal for silt maps cleaning, sludge storage facilities and reservoirs, for temporary storage of dewatered sludge on a site, and, most importantly, for disposal of wastes directly at the dewatering site in the form of a highly loaded landfill that is resistant to wind and water erosion. When reducing the area of silt maps, the containers can be used as an emergency reserve, since their guaranteed storage period is 25 years. The main principle of the technology is to provide the sludge into the container through a pulp pipeline and then wait for the free water to drain. When dewatering granular suspensions (from sand to dense slimes), the container is filled with natural pulp. When fine silts and hydroxide slimes are dewatered, a flocculant is added to the pulp. After the initial filling of the container with pulp, its subsequent pumping is carried out from 1 to 5 times, after which the process of consolidation of the dehydrated material to the limit of free water release occurs, the duration of which depends on the properties of the solid phase. The main thing is that waiting does not consume any resources, except for the area provided for containers. After consolidation, a loose or refractory material is formed, the size of which depends on the size of the geotextile container used.
