Floating covers contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in wastewater treatment plants by capturing and utilizing biogas produced during anaerobic digestion. In wastewater treatment plants and animal waste lagoons, as organic matter breaks down, biogas is released. Biogas is composed primarily of methane and carbon dioxide.
Floating covers cover anaerobic digestion tanks and lagoons, capturing and containing produced biogas. The collected biogas can then be harnessed as a renewable energy source, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels for power generation within the plant. This dual benefit of odorous gas control and renewable energy production aligns with sustainability goals, making floating covers an environmentally friendly solution in wastewater treatment, and mitigating the environmental impact of wastewater treatment processes.
