Leachates are liquids that migrate from the waste from landfills. Rainwater and moisture existing in landfill waste produces the leachates which carry dissolved or suspended contaminants. It’s essentially the waste from the landfill that can potentially seep into the surrounding ground and surface water. The landfill is responsible to control of this potential contamination.

In this video, we’ll take a look at the components that make up an electrical heating system used on a polyethylene chemical storage tank. A polyethylene tank heating system, along with proper insulation, ensures that the chemicals stored in the tank are kept at the proper temperature. The poly tank heating system consists of a SilcoPad® heating pad on the outside of the tank that is wired to a control panel and also a thermostat. The tank heating system can be connected to a SCADA system or any type of alarm device.

Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical used in thousands of applications. It is one of the most common chemicals used in water treatment to eliminate bacteria and viruses from drinking water supplies. By no means is it limited to just public works, any environment that requires sanitation from industrial to food processing find it to beneficial. As an aggressive oxidizer, it can even be used in manufacturing paper products to bleach and oxidize fibers.
