Hexprotect® Slim: wind resistant floating cover

AWTT INC. Hexprotect® Slim floating hexagonal cover system is the result of intense and extensive research leading to a product which fulfills demands of an affordable and wind resistant floating cover for liquids.

Hexagonal floating covers offer a highly effective solution to problematic liquid storage systems such as municipal and industrial wastewater, tailing dams, treatment processing plants, metal and petrochemical plants, leachate ponds, airports, raw water reservoirs and other applications for heat retention, photosynthesis prevention and or a wildlife deterrent. It is an ideal tank cover that can be easily installed and requires no maintenance.

The Hexprotect® Slim floating cover system ensures coverage of up to 99%. The resulting thermal insulation barrier combines the insulation factor of the air held in each tile with the poor heat conductivity of plastic. While the small air pockets between the tiles 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 Hexprotect® Slim hexagonal floating cover, contrary to standard covers, does not represent an obstacle to static, moving or dipping equipment. The tiles can be easily pushed aside and the cover reforms itself as the basin and obstacles change configuration, as in a clarifier. In fact, the tiles will keep up with liquid level, rising, lowering and restacking themselves as needed.

Furthermore, the Hexprotect® Slim floating covers are 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.

Finally, compared to netting, Hexprotect® Slim floating covers are not sensitive to ice or snow damage and do not require any kind of support.
