AWTT INC. Armor Balls™ cover systems offer highly effective
solutions to problematic liquid storage systems such as
municipal and industrial wastewater, treatment processing
plants, metal and petrochemical plants, leachate, airports,
raw water reservoirs and other applications for heat retention
and waterfowl deterrent.
High surface area coverage is achieved by placing a sufficient
amount of balls on the surface of the liquid. The balls
arrange themselves to provide coverage of up to 91%. The
result is a thermal insulation barrier which combines the
insulation factor of the air held in each ball with the
poor heat conductivity of plastic. While the air pockets
between the balls are not sealed, they also contribute to
this insulation system, which dramatically reduces heat
loss and light transfer. The cover also reduces liquid loss
through evaporation and prevents odor problems.
The Armor Balls™ barrier, contrary to standard covers, does
not represent an obstacle to static, moving or dipping equipment.
The balls can be easily pushed aside and the cover reforms
itself as the basin and obstacles change configuration,
as in a clarifier. In fact, the balls will keep up with
liquid level, rising, lowering and restacking themselves
as needed.
Armor Balls™ is also an effective wildlife deterrent. When
entirely covered, the body of water becomes unattractive
to waterfowl and other wildlife such as deer. They simply
don't recognize it as water.
Compared to netting, Armor Balls™ are not sensitive to ice
or snow damage and do not require any kind of support.
