Many different applications require high temperature liners that can contain heated liquids. High temperature liners may be required in order to preserve the integrity and service life of the geomembrane itself. Both reinforced polyethylene (RPE) and reinforced polypropylene (RPP) liners are rated up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit for sustained temperature. This has become an industry standard.
Applications for High Temperature Liners
Choosing high temperature liners benefits a variety of industries and applications, including:- Secondary containment
- Industrial ponds
- Food processing systems
- Hot liquid storage
- Process water containment
- Waste water treatment
- Bioreactor landfills
- Oil and gas operations
- Brine evaporation pond containment
- Geothermal ponds
- Hot fluid discharges
- Solar water tank heating
Liners for Extreme High Temperatures
High temperature liners have been designed to withstand the effects of extreme temperatures. Liners designed for extreme high temperatures aren’t challenged in the same way as liners that haven’t been optimized for heat resistance.- Heat accelerates the natural aging process of polymers in the liner material, which can decrease service life if the proper liner isn’t selected
- Extreme high temperature liners have been formulated to combat the effects of heat stress
- RPE and RPP liners combine heat and chemical resistance to create a liner that’s ideal for use in harsh secondary containment applications
