HDPE landfill geomembrane is the low permeable synthetic membrane and geotechnical engineering materials which are widely used for solid waste containment, mining and water containment applications.

As the leading geomembrane manufacturer and supplier, GEOSINCERE offers custom geomembrane liner with varius size and thickness at best factory price.

1. What Is Landfill Geomembrane?

HDPE geomembrane liner is made of finest quality high density polyethylene (HDPE) with specially formulated, virgin polyethylene resin, combined with specified quantity carbon black, antioxidant, anti-aging agent and UV resistance components, which makes our smooth geomembrane HDPE liner with excellent resistance to UV radiation and is suitable for exposed conditions.

GEOSINCERE HDPE landfill geomembrane liner is produced using state-of-the-art automatic geomembrane production lines and advanced three-layered pressing technology, adhering to the GRI GM13 standard. In comparison to traditional concrete, asphalt, and compacted clay, our HDPE landfill geomembrane liner offers significant advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness, environmental safety, durability, chemical resistance, rapid deployment, and easy transportation.

We have successfully supplied various types of effective and cutting-edge geomembranes and other geosynthetics to more than 36 countries worldwide. Our satisfied customers come from diverse regions such as Australia, France, Sweden, the UK, Hong Kong, Hungary, New Zealand, Poland, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Somalia, Nigeria, South Africa, Swaziland, Mongolia, and many more.

2. HDPE Landfill Geomembrane Solution for Kalahri Mining Project in South Africa

The Kalahari Manganese field is located in the Northern Cape Province, 700km south-west of Johannesburg, South Africa. It contains approximately 80% of the world’s known high-grade manganese ore reserves. The district yields four million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), which is mined mainly by two companies: Samancor and Assmang.

With so many uses for geomembranes in the mining industry, during both active and closed stages of a project, it’s no wonder they’re so widely used. However, not all geomembrane products will work for mining applications. Using the wrong material for a hydraulic fracturing brine pond or a heap leaching pad will only result in failures and costly losses. Making the right choice from the start is easier than you might think. Simply choose a polymer based on their characteristics, decide on reinforced and textured features, and consider how you plan to install the landfill geomembrane liner.

High density polyethylene (HDPE) is widely available, but it’s far more prone to cracking under stress than other types of polyethylene. It offers decent chemical resistance and less UV resistance than RPE. Welds are reasonably strong for reliable seams. Unfortunately, this is balanced out by poor puncture resistance and extensive thermal expansion in applications with hot wastewater. This material isn’t a great choice for use on its own in a mining project.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). More flexible than HDPE liners, PVC isn’t very durable and lacks the chemical resistance necessary for mining use. The material resists wrinkling relatively well due to its flexibility, but it’s less durable and offers poor tear resistance in rocky soils. It’s also not entirely UV resistant in most formulations and will break down eventually when installed in an exposed setting. High and low temperatures also damage PVC liners, both of which are possible on the mining site. Skip this material for process and storage ponds.

Low density polyethylene (LDPE). For the combination of chemical resistance and flexibility, LDPE is a relatively good choice. Yet it still has some disadvantages that keep it from being the ideal choice for most mining projects. First, this material is even less UV resistant than HDPE geomembrane. It’s also less chemical resistant. While the softer material is less likely to wrinkle than stiffer membranes, especially when reinforced, it’s not as durable as you need for mining purposes. Rough ores and sediments will quickly wear out a liner made of LDPE alone. LDPE is not an ideal liner when used alone, but it may work well in combination with other geomembranes.

The mining industry recommends the use of reinforced geomembranes. These liners provide a better lay-flat experience and reduce the number of wrinkles that form during installation. Unremoved wrinkles slowly compress over time due to the weight of water and sediment. Ores processed in ponds are particularly heavy and tend to stretch non-reinforced lining products. Especially reinforced polyethylene (RPE) is designed to resist stretching and expansion under heavy loads. These linings are also more resistant to freeze damage from colder climates, making them ideal for mines located in both high and low latitudes of the world.
