ExcelPlas Assuring the Quality and Durability of HDPE Geomembrane Liners
The use of geomembranes for the containment of solid and liquid waste, for the collection, containment, and conveyance of water, for the pollution protection of groundwater has grown rapidly in recent years. The geomembrane of choice for chemical resistance is still HDPE. There is approximately 40 years of experience with HDPE liners, during which there have unexpectedly been a number of failures and problems, but from which much has been learned. However more testing and analysis needs to be done with respect to an HDPE geomembranes particularly in the following areas;
• The effect that blooming of antioxidants in the high performance grades has on field welding
• Heat distortion and partial melting of glossy HDPE liner due to solar heating of parabolic geometries
• Compatibility of HDPE and BGM liners in intimate contact
• Methods for assessing uniformity of antioxidant dispersion in extruded liners
• Premature Embrittlement of white layers on white-surface black geomembrane
• Stress Cracking of HDPE geomembrane due to PFAS detergents/surfactants
• OIT depth profiling through the thickness of HDPE liners to model Fickian diffusion of additives
• Use of Non-Reactive HALS for HDPE liner exposed to highly acid service environments.
• Use of Cyclic Flex testing (Fatigue Testing) to predict long-term integrity of HDPE double wedge welds and the influence of the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ)
