Geomembrane Selection and Use in Evaporation Ponds

Part 1:  Evaporation Pond Operation and Containment Requirements

Since posting our first blog addressing the recent interest in exposed Geomembrane covers, discussion around the topic has continued throughout the industry. More specifically, the conversation often revolves around the same question: How can certain geomembranes be made to work for exposed applications? 

Potable Water Series: How Geomembranes Help to Improve Quality, Lower Costs and Increase Efficiencies in Water and Wastewater Treatment

Municipal water and wastewater systems are considered to be one of the costliest assets for municipalities to maintain. Potable water safety and quality is not only a priority, but it is also a highly regulated necessity. In this four-part series, we’ll cover drinking water treatment processes, water sourcing, water distribution and how geomembranes can help improve quality, lower costs and increase efficiencies.

“UV Resistance” is a term that applies to the effects of ultraviolet light and is often implied when claiming resistance to the effects of UV-induced thermal resistance. In fact, there are three areas that are influenced by ultraviolet light and/or heat induced from sunlight that often seem to be described in that manner.
