1. What Is HDPE Polythene Sheet?
HDPE polythene sheet, also known as high-density polyethylene geomembrane, is a type of thermoplastic polymer sheet made from high-density polyethylene. It is commonly used for various applications due to its exceptional properties.
HDPE Polythene Sheets are available in thicknesses ranging from 0.2 mm to 3 mm, with thicknesses over 2 mm often referred to as HDPE polythene sheets. These sheets are highly durable, flexible, and resistant to chemicals and moisture. They are commonly used as geomembrane liners in ponds, including those with steel or gentle slope sides, tight corners, contours, and shelving. The versatility of HDPE Polythene Sheets allows them to adapt to a variety of irregular surfaces.
One of the key reasons for the international popularity of HDPE Polythene Sheets is their accessibility and cost-effectiveness. BPM’s HDPE Polythene Sheets are chemically resistant, ensuring their longevity in corrosive environments. They are also durable and UV stable, making them suitable for outdoor applications. Additionally, their cost-effectiveness makes them a preferred choice for various industries and applications.
2. Case Study of HDPE Polythene Sheet for Sewage Treatment Pond in Nigeria
- Location: Nigeria
- Product: 3.0mm HDPE liner
- Application: Sewage Treatment Pond of Steel Mill
A manufacturing company was set up in lwo LSIn, Kuala Lumpur, North Central Nigeria. Its main product is steel. This company is relatively influential in the local area and has an office in Wuxi, China. In the initial stage of the steel plant, many equipment have been installed. The design of the water storage pond was planned outside the plant. The pond size was about 90 meters long, 40 meters wide, 4.5 meters high and about 16000 cubic meters. The function of the reservoir was to cool the high-temperature water for steelmaking and achieve the purpose of recycling. Because of the drought and water shortage in Nigeria, the pond built in the open air could collect a lot of rainwater in the rainy season, so as to achieve the purpose of saving fresh water resources and reusing rainwater. According to the project design, it needed to use HDPE liner to play the role of waterproof and anti-seepage, and the service life should be more than 20 years. Long term exposure to sunlight required high quality of HDPE geomembrane liner, and required anti ultraviolet and anti-aging properties to increase the service life of HDPE polythene sheet. The customer didn’t know much about HDPE polythene sheet, and didn’t know how to install it, and there was no local engineer who could weld HDPE liner, so he also hoped that we could provide installation services to help him solve this problem.
3. BPM HDPE Polythene Sheet for Sewage Treatment Pond in Nigeria
BPM customer sent us HDPE geomembrane liner inquiry on the website. We first understood the customer’s needs and his application. When the customer required a relatively high cost-effective thickness, we recommended the use of 2.0 mm virgin material HDPE liner. On the one hand, the price was reasonable, on the other hand, it could meet the customer’s demand for service life.
After the customer discussed with his team, considering that the temperature of steelmaking water was sometimes very high, and the local climate was also high temperature weather, the bottom layer of water storage pond must be strong and durable. The customer told us that he wanted to pave the bottom layer with concrete, but because there was not much labor in the local area, and it would take a long time to lay the concrete, the cost would be very high, so the method of laying concrete was abandoned. He hoped that we could produce a thicker liner to help him achieve the desired effect.
Therefore, we recommended the thickest 3.0 mm HDPE polythene sheet according to the product specifications. The raw materials are guaranteed to use 100% virgin materials, and the service life is more than 30 years. BPM HDPE liner is still durable even if it is exposed to high temperature for a long time. After calculating the total value of 3.0 mm HDPE polythene sheet, it was found that the cost of HDPE geomembrane liner for sewage treatment pond was more than half of the profit of laying concrete. We sent HDPE polythene sheet samples to the customer to confirm the quality. The customer was very satisfied with the quality of the product and make the purchase plan. After the geomembrane arrived at the construction site in Nigeria, we immediately sent welding workers to the site to help customers with welding and laying. After more than 30 days of work, the pond was finally completed.
