DLPS has recently completed a project for Saudi Kayan Petrochemical Company to reduce the odours, emissions, BTEX/VOC and organic growth in their waste water basins. The total area that was protected is 4,800 sq m.

The unique and patented Hexa-Cover Floating Cover is the perfect solution to eliminate emissions, evaporation, organic growth, odor, and heat loss. Through its patented design the floating cover ensures up to 99.9 per cent coverage of the surface area, says DLPS spokesman.

The Hexa-Cover floating cover has been designed as a hexagonal element with symmetric ribs on both sides. The ribs make the floating elements distribute themselves naturally and uniformly on the liquid surface without overlapping. A specific gravity of 0.5 kg/l ensures that the elements will be level with the surface. The unique design makes the elements interlock by wind pressure and ensure that the Floating Cover mechanically constitutes a coherent cover.

Hexa-Cover tiles are manufactured from recycled plastic with no use of Freon or the like.

The installation process is extremely easy, he says. Hexa-Cover is delivered in large bags, and is easily poured onto the water surface where it will distribute itself automatically, and form a closed cover.

Hexa-Cover Floating Covers are an investment that will not require any further expenses. Further, there are no operating costs and no repair.

Whenever needed, access to the water is possible anywhere and at any time. The floating covers can be simply pushed aside with the equipment e.g. a pump, a hose or a mixer. When the equipment is removed, the tiles will reorganise, and close the openings.
