The primary purposes of using a floating cover are to mitigate evaporation, control odors, and inhibit the growth of algae in open-air liquid storage systems. Typically made of flexible materials like geomembranes, these covers create a barrier on the surface of the liquid, reducing water loss due to evaporation and preventing the escape of odorous compounds.
Floating covers also block sunlight, suppressing algae growth and maintaining higher water quality. Floating covers contribute to environmental sustainability by conserving water resources, improving the efficiency of liquid storage, and addressing specific challenges in applications such as reservoirs, ponds, and wastewater treatment facilities.
