Floating covers are commonly used in landfill leachate storage ponds. These covers help manage and control the leachate, a corrosive liquid that forms as water passes through landfills, by creating a barrier on the surface. Floating covers control odors, prevent the release of harmful volatile compounds, and prevent rainwater from entering the storage pond.
This containment strategy ensures environmental compliance and contributes to efficient leachate management practices in landfills. The use of floating covers in leachate ponds is a critical component of sustainable landfill operations, reducing the impact of landfills on surrounding ecosystems and preventing contamination of groundwater and surface water.
