Applications:

·         Landfills

·         Potable water containment--reservoirs, dams

·         Waste water treatment plants

Description:

The conservation of fresh water, as a precious natural resource in some areas, generally falls under municipal responsibilities.  Treating or containing waste of any kind is also often a task of municipal governments. 

Today's various applications for municipal needs have adopted polyethylene liners as the most capable method in terms of project integrity, installation ease, and economic value.  Used for both storage and containment, polyethylene liners have been effective in preventing contaminants from seeping into groundwater and in maintaining the state of the surrounding ecology.

Environmental Concerns:

Potential damages associated with leakages in landfills or waste water treatment plants are highly detrimental to the environment.  Valuable groundwater resources are easily contaminated by hazardous leachates, creating long lasting environmental damage as well as health problems for nearby residents.

Landfills:

In-Line Plastics is a chosen supplier of critical landfill lining solutions.  As projects critical to the environment, landfills must be carefully designed and constructed to seepage of landfill leachate into the environment. 

Providing virtually 100% of the protection against environmental damage, polyethylene liners must be capable of withstanding decades-long containment.  ILP quality assurance affirms that each one of our liners is manufactured without defect.  However, installation requires extensive planning and expertise to ensure the absence of damages and potential leakages. 

Water and Wastewater Treatment:

Through extensive service, In-Line Plastics HDPE and LLDPE liners have proven to be effective barriers against the seepage of contaminates into the soil and groundwater of the surrounding environment.  This design of sewage containment has been certified and used by the treatment industry and municipalities for decades.

Potable Water Containment:

Potable water is defined by the EPA as water safe for drinking and cooking.  Its containment, as a significant public health issue, is therefore subject to strict regulations.  Geomembranes used must meet specific chemical resistance requirements in order to eliminate contaminants that may affect the water quality, as well as be rated safe for food contact.

Many older systems of containment were engineered using concrete structures, which have cracked over time and leaked significant volumes of water.  Polyethylene liners have been successful in efficiently and economically reducing water loss, and have thus been applied to new containment systems as well as to re-lining older reservoirs.
