Ultratech Dewatering Filter Bags
Sediment Filter Bags for Dewatering
For filtration of sediment, silt and oil, Dewatering Filter Bags are the most popular solution. Our Ultratech dewatering bags can filter both sediment and oil and are constructed with an outer nonwoven filter fabric that allows water to slowly drain out of the bag while sediment, silt and other materials are retained inside the bag. Sediment filter bags like these are used for a variety of applications including construction site dewatering projects.
