Heat Retention Covers

Traditional pond systems lose significant amounts of heat through the water surface, thus adversely impacting biological activity (autotrophic bacteria are affected first followed by heterotrophic bacteria population reduction). Nitrification is directly impacted by lower water temperatures, making our covers a great choice for improving ammonia reduction.

Maintaining higher water temperatures with the aid of our insulated cover, stabilizes year-round bacterial populations, resulting in more consistent and predictable treatment performance. Facilities that rely upon anaerobic treatment have also found improvement in year-round process performance by maintaining higher water temperatures through the deployment of our covers.

IEC’s insulated covered systems have proven to be effective in heat retention applications year-round, even in areas of extreme seasonal climate variation. Independent EPA test data has illustrated the effectiveness of this simple and efficient design.
