Filtration geocomposite DRAINTUBE® ACB

protectionwith mini-drainsfor drainage

Product overview
The DRAINTUBE® ACB geocomposite is a polypropylene drainage solution designed to protect the groundwater table by collecting and conveying contaminated leachate while protecting the geomembrane at the base of landfill cells. It is installed during construction or extension of landfills and replaces traditional puncture-resistant geotextiles and granular drainage layers.

Key features

• Patented filter with Anti-Biological Clogging (ACB) treatment to limit bacterial growth and maintain drainage efficiency
• Integrated perforated mini-drains positioned above the geomembrane to ensure direct conveyance of leachate
• Substitutes puncture-resistant geotextile and granular materials, reducing material handling and footprint

Quick Connect system
The Quick Connect system allows direct connection of the DRAINTUBE® ACB mini-drains to the main collector drain. For gas drainage applications, the system can generate negative pressure across the drainage network to assist conveyance.

Benefits

• Rapid drainage of leachate from the bottom of the cell
• Protection of the geomembrane against puncture
• Cost-effective and environmentally advantageous by avoiding granular drainage materials
• Increased storage capacity of the cell
