Tuflex
India provides clients, engineers with high performance
geomembranes and other components used extensively in the
construction of waste management landfills and their engineered
capping system.
Environmental standards in India require that for maximum
chemical resistance geomembranes and other landfill components
should be manufactured from high density polyethylene (HDPE) |
|
Some
of the major applications for HDPE geomembrane are as follows |
▫
|
Municipal Solid waste and hazardous landfills |
 |
|
▫ |
Effluent treatment plants |
|
▫ |
Reservoirs |
|
▫ |
Pond liners |
|
▫ |
Canal liners |
|
▫ |
Mining |
|
|
|
|
Landfills

HDPE Geomembranes are primary liners which contain wastes and
control the movement of associated leachates and gases in hazardous
& municipal waste landfills, thus preventing ground water from being
contaminated. Tuflex HDPE Geomembranes are highly flexible and
impervious and resistant to chemical and biological attacks. |

|
|
|
Pond Liners |
|
It is
important that waste-water treatment plants install lagoon liner
systems to prevent contaminants from entering ground water sources
or streams. Ponds liners can also be used in application such as
golf courses, amusement parks, resorts, agriculture and aquaculture.

Reservoirs & Ponds |
|
 |
A major
use of polyethylene Geomembrane is in the area of liquid
containment. The Geomembrane prevents seepage loss thereby
conserving millions of gallons of water annually in potable water
applications. |
|
|
|
|
Canal Liners |
|
HDPE
Geomembrane are viable alternatives to concrete and compacted earth
for lining canals to reduce seepage. Geomembrane can be used as an
expedient method to repair existing deteriorated concrete linings. |
|
|
|
|
Mining |
|
The use of
HDPE Geomembrane may result in more productive mining. New processes
involving the heap leach method of precious metal extraction using
chemical solutions have resulted in low cost extraction from low
grade ores. The use of flexible HDPE Geomembrane liners prevents the
contamination of the soil and ground water by these chemical
solutions. |
|
|
|
|
Secondary Containment
|
|
HDPE
Geomembrane can be placed directly on the ground to prevent
groundwater contamination in the event of a spill caused by the
deterioration of concrete structures and steel tanks containing
environmentally harmful products. This has made HDPE the best
choice as a secondary containment solution. |
