Benefits of technology

[0003]The primary advantage of the invention is that it is removable, thus allowing the pond to be dredged and re-used. Another advantage is that the insulation results in heat being retained in the pond, thus speeding biodegradation of organic material.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]The present invention is an insulated removable pond cover which is made in sections which are held together by means of a series of grommets 5 and cables 12. The cables 12 are secured to a series of concrete deadheads or anchors 20. These pond covers are laid on site and may be secured by an anchoring trench 21. The pond cover may overlie a pond, tank or other such container 22 known to those skilled in the art. Such container 22 may hold an aqueous solution 23 or other material known to those having ordinary skill in the art.

[0010]The pond cover comprises a plurality of generally rectangular casings or panel units 1 linked together. The number and size of the casings 1 will vary depending upon the size of the pond to be covered, and the casings 1 are arranged in as many rows as are needed. Generally each casing 1 will be about seven and one-half feet wide and approximately forty feet long. Each casing 1 is filled with a layer of insulation 3 and then sealed at either end and...

Abstract

An insulated removeable pond cover for settling ponds. The pond cover comprises a plurality of sealed panel units containing insulation. The panel units are linked together by means of a system of cables which pass through grommets in the panel units.

Description

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Man-made, usually rectangular, settling ponds are used for holding sewage and industrial wastes, which are examples of wastewater. These ponds are usually covered by a large one-piece geomembrane which has gas and water collection systems and is usually not insulated. These pond covers are laid on-site and secured by an anchoring trench. Because of their size, they are difficult to remove.[0002]The present invention is an insulated removable pond cover which is made in sections which are held together by means of a series of grommets and cables. The cables are secured to a series of concrete deadheads.[0003]The primary advantage of the invention is that it is removable, thus allowing the pond to be dredged and re-used. Another advantage is that the insulation results in heat being retained in the pond, thus speeding biodegradation of organic material.DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0004]FIG. 1 is a side view of two of the panels.[0005]FIG. 2 ...
