Floating Cover Systems

Odor control & gas collection covers are specifically designed for each client utilizing a variety of material options. Cover applications can be used with any type of gas collection from water basin and keep rain and snowmelt water separate from wastewater under the cover. Advantages of a cover include installation without site interruption, use on tanks or lagoons, elimination of rainwater ponding problems, elimination of gas ballooning, provides high buoyancy and rigidity, hatches can provide access to in-basin equipment, improved quality with pre-manufactured panels and are fabricated at IEC's plant, so field welding is not required.

Modular Cover System comprised of a series of individual casings connected together to form a complete floating cover system. Each individual casing consists of a panel of closed cell insulation encapsulated between two sheets of durable geomembrane. The result is a unique floating cover system that provides insulation values ranging from R-2 to R-30; and is engineered and manufactured to specific dimensions/basin requirements.

The Modular Cover System offers the following advantages over conventional covers systems:

* maintenance free

* can be installed on tanks or lagoons

* adepts to varying water levels

* individual casings are removable

* installed without site interruption

* shorter installation time, no field welding required

* installation requires less heavy equipment

* eliminates rainwater ponding problems

* eliminates gas ballooning

* high buoyancy and rigidity

* hatches can provide access to in-basin equipment

Properly designed reservoir floating cover systems prevent fluid loss due to evaporation, reduce chemical demand and improve water quality by preventing contamination from bird droppings, airborne particulates, dead animals pollen and other pollutants. Floating covers block off sunlight preventing algae bloom. They also reduce the production of trialomethane (THM) type compounds such as chloroform from forming that result from the combining of organic substances with chlorine due to reductions in chlorine demand. In anaerobic digester systems, floating covers are increasingly being used to capture organic gases and to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD).

Floating cover systems were introduced over 30 years ago. Many have provided a service life beyond 20 years. When first introduced, materials and designs were not developed and in some cases had limited success. Today, with advancements in design and materials, floating covers offer the low cost quality solution of choice where water quality standards requirepotable water reservoirs be covered.

Floating cover applications range from anaerobic digestion covers for wastewater systems, to potable water reservoir covers for municipal drinking water applications. In farming applications they have been successfully used with enzymes to capture methane gas that is used to fuel electricity producing generators that can satisfy 150% of a typical swine farm's electrical power requirements. This alternative generates renewable "green energy" from an otherwise polluting system that provides zero return on investment. In agricultural and other water management applications, floating covers are increasing being used for evaporation control and odor control.
