250,000sqm OBOR Geomembrane for Mine Tailing Disposal in Tanzania

Mine tailing disposal is one of the most important environmental issues for any mining project. To control the release of tailing materials, which are the waste product left over from a mineral-processing plant, a tailing dam or pond is created to contain the waste. . In this case, geomembranes are used to protect the environment and prevent contamination of soils and groundwater tables.

As a waterproofing liner, HDPE membrane is favored over other materials for its modest economic and operational advantage. Economically, HDPE membrane is superior thanks to its relatively straight forward manufacturing process, which has driven up supply and kept prices low in contrast to other kinds of geomembranes.

Furthermore, hdpe geomembrane is a very stable polyolefin that is chemically inert and able to maintain long-term integrity and durability. These  properties make the HDPE membrane a popular choice to waterproof and mining, landfill and other containment applications.
