Wastewater Lagoons

Waste Water Treatment Lagoons Soil Gas Venting

Wastewater lagoon venting is important to maintain the life of the lagoon. When methane gas forms under the liner, the liner develops “whale backs” or gas pockets and the capacity of lagoon is reduced as methane gas tries to escape from under the liner. Hydravent is the solution to preventing methane gas build up.

Soil Water And Wastewater Lagoon Venting System Applications

Intech manufactures and distributes the industry-leading Hydravent System. Engineers choose Hydravent because of its high compressive strengths, inflow rate, and verifiable results.

It has an 80% inflow rate, which is 7-25x higher than most other systems on the market. It is capable of withstanding 11,000 lbs/ft2.

Project Highlight

Location – Gilcrest, CO

Product(s) – Hydravent Venting System

Project Type(s) – Waste Water Lagoon

Sector – Government

Project Summary – Hydravent was used to prevent methane gas build up under the lagoon liners.

Project Challenge – Come up with a cost-effective way to mitigate gasses to prevent future damage to the new liners.

The existing wastewater lagoon liners for the City of Gilcrest Colorado were all experiencing whale backing. Since all four lagoons had whale backs (methane bubble of the liner), it was decided that Hydravent Venting System would be installed to vent the new replacement liners.

Hydravent would effectively provide a solution to vent the methane gasses to keep the liners in place and not decrease the capacity of the wastewater. It was decided that using Hydravent on 25-foot spacing would provide the solution. The possibility of future whalebacks in the newly replaced liners was effectively limited.

Excess Water Treatment

Wastewater and damaging gasses are of constant concern for water treatment plants. Liners underneath stabilization ponds are often the victim of floating and tearing due to soil gasses building up underneath the liner. These situations require detection and immediate remediation.

The goal of water treatment is, of course, to produce clean, usable water. A Hydravent System installed throughout your facility will ensure unwanted water is moved where you want it.

Agriculture And Aquaculture

A Hydravent System installed throughout your facility will ensure unwanted water is moved where you want it.

Hydravent Systems enable effective wastewater venting that mitigates the risk of lost, damaged, or unusable crop.

We will come out to your site and consult on venting design and installation so that you don’t need to fear an improper installation. Plus, because Hydravent is clog-resistant, your system will keep functioning as intended for years into the future.

From fish hatcheries to vegetable processing plants, aquaculture facilities depend on tightly controlled water management systems. Wastewater must be appropriately eliminated and not allowed to interfere with other systems.

Once again, HDPE liners play an an effective separation between your pools and lagoons and the rest of the natural world. Hydravent is one of the most reliable methods of removing wastewater from your system.

Mining

Mining creates tremendous amounts of wastewater, and the elimination of it is a tightly regulated process.

Hydravent has a greater inflow rate than other, more conventional venting solutions. Because water can flow across more than 70% of the drainage surface, more water can be drained in quicker fashion.

In other words, Hydravent prevents problems associated with water buildup. Standing water can cause significant damage to critical infrastructure, affecting the structural integrity of underground spaces and damaging liners. From soil gas venting to wastewater removal, the mining industry stands to benefit to a significant degree from the innovative Hydravent system.

Next to mining, landfills and waste management is one of the most strictly regulated industries out there. HDPE liners are essential underneath landfills, and thus must be protected from damage. Otherwise, waste from landfills may contaminate the groundwater that we all rely on every day for drinking.

Hydravent offers effective venting to mitigate gas buildup underneath landfills, and Hydravent offers an easy solution to methane and other gas build-ups that can threaten the integrity of liners.
