Floating covers act as a barrier on the surface of liquid bodies, such as wastewater or industrial effluent, preventing gasses from escaping into the air. By preventing the release of volatile compounds and noxious gases, floating covers minimize unpleasant odors associated with wastewater storage. These impermeable covers, typically made of materials synthetic geomembranes, can also be used to capture and store valuable but odorous byproducts like methane.
By containing and managing these compounds, floating covers contribute to a more environmentally friendly and socially acceptable operation, particularly in wastewater treatment facilities and other settings where odor control is a priority.
