IEC’s newest floating cover system for wastewater treatment and gas storage cover applications, Covex® (also known as Hexacover or Hexagonal Cover) is easy to install, requiring no special skills or equipment.
Covex® minimizes water loss due to evaporation by covering up to 98% of the water surface and reducing the evaporative effects of wind and wave action.
In addition, shading of the water cools the water surface temperature which further reduces evaporation.
Blocking sunlight from penetrating the water column eliminates photosynthesis which algae and aquatic plants rely upon for growth and establishment.
The result is improved water quality and disinfection.
Covex® can eliminate the need for expensive alternative methods such as chemical dosing and mechanical separation equipment.
Elimination of the air-to-water interface reduces transmission of odors emitted from the water surface.
The nesting arrangement of the cover tiles is a quick, and easy way of covering a water surface without expensive engineering designs and installation requirements.
Covex® can also be used as a deterrent to waterfowl and other wildlife by “hiding” the visible liquid surface.
The cover provides an appearance of a non-liquid, solid, monolithic surface, thus deterring wildlife from the water source.
The hexagonal cover tiles (also styled Hexacover or Hexprotect) are ballasted (pre-filled at the factory) with water in the central chamber to give it stability in all operating conditions.
The low-profile aerodynamic design has a low center of gravity providing exceptional wind resistance and stability.
Manufactured with partially recycled plastics.
Manufacturing process uses energy from renewable sources.
Covex® uses the least amount of plastic on the market when compared to similar floating cover products.
