Finding the ideal 'cover' for pools containing industrial liquids , tanks, or conventional reservoirs - one that doesn’t interfere with work processes, is easy and quick to install, and meets the requirements - is not an easy task in any sector. Although, choosing the right cover unnecessary expenses and inconvenient disruptions can be avoided!

How do you lose money by not using a cover layer?

Thinking of heated swimming pools, drinking water irrigation reservoirs, airport reservoirs, freshwater and muddy water reservoirs near mines evaporation loss is an undesirable factor needs to be addresses. The problem is that they have no other choice! Without a cover layer, the change of state of water is inevitable which ends up in loss of money .

Replacing and refilling liquids is not only a financial burden, but is also a time- and energy-consuming process. Moreover, due to the effects of climate change, there are concerns in many cases about whether there will be enough water to refill e.g a reservoir.

Increased evaporation also affects plants especially where they work with industrial liquids in uncovered basins/tanks. In their case, the change of state is even more of an urgent issue compared to reservoirs, as the chemicals used are often at high temperature, which means that without a cover there is no way to prevent the release of harmful gases and vapors getting into the environment and the spread of unpleasant odors. This is the reason for installing and operating a high-efficiency extraction system, which involves significant investment and high monthly expenses. Whatsmore, heat loss also occurs which further increases costs.A

Therefore, leaving liquids uncovered ends up with extra expenses for plants, whilst there is a simple and effective solution.

A layer of cover balls offers a flexible and highly effective solution at hand!

Evaporation of water can be significantly reduced with our cover balls. The Bird Ball™, the Water-Filled Bird Ball™, and the Self-Filling Ball® can also be used to deal with the above problem effectively. The balls can cover 91% of the reservoir’s liquid surface, thus reducing evaporation loss by up to 90% by minimizing the open water surface and the environmental factors influencing evaporation rates also become moderate .

The use of balls also plays an important role in preserving water quality, as the growth of algae and aquatic plants becomes a manageable process.

Of course, ball cover has several benefits also in electroplating and anodizing facilities, electrolytic metal refineries, and several other industrial fields where chemical liquids are used. Our balls, which are produced especially for industrial application, creates an excellent thermal barrier resulting in the reduction of evaporation and energy costs up to 75 percent.

Byball cover a safer working environment can be created and it also prevent accidents due to splashing. In addition, a healthier and more pleasant working environment can be created by minimizing the vapors getting into the air, there is no need for high-efficiency extraction systems. A demister ball cover is an ideal way to stop and avoid acid mist as well.

Our balls solved the problem of covering liquids for many years without the need of any major investment nor maintenance!

Operation

If a sufficient amount of balls are placed on a surface, they self-arrange side by side by floating on the surface of the liquid due to the low density of the air and plastic inside them. They create a coverage of 91% of the surface. The layer of balls isolates the liquid and separates it from its surroundings, i.e. significantly reduces their interaction with each other. In practice, with just one layer of EURO-MATIC balls has many advantages, making it suitable for a wide range of effective uses.


Energy saving

Due to the good thermal insulation capacity of the plastic and the air inside the ball, our product saves energy cost up to 75%, as the heat loss is significantly reduced. In addition, it is an important safety aspect that, due to the thermal insulation, the area around the tanks and pools does not get hot.


Evaporation reduction

All liquids evaporate, and as the temperature rises, evaporation becomes an increasingly rapid process and causes significant fluid loss that usually needs to be refilled. With the help of the balls, the rate of evaporation can be reduced by up to 90%, so much less liquid needs to be refilled. In many cases, the investment cost of the balls pays for itself in a short period of time, already from the avoided cost of compensating for fluid losses. In cases where lower humidity is important (e.g. due to drying of the workpiece), the return is even faster as higher productivity can be achieved.

 

 

Reduction of harmful gases and odors

In an industrial environment, the evaporation of liquids usually releases fumes and gases that are hazardous and harmful to the environment and the human body. For this reason, it is necessary to use a high-performance exhaust system that removes the harmful air from the production hall. By using industrial balls, direct and indirect cost savings can be achieved, and workers can work in improved and healthier working environment. Direct cost savings can be achieved with a drastic reduction in evaporation, thus significantly reducing the amount of harmful substances released into the environment, so the exhaust system can be operated at a much lower capacity, resulting in lower energy consumption, and in some cases, its ongoing operation can be even omitted. Indirectly, the heating costs of the plant can be reduced, as the air exchange in the hall is much lower. Furthermore, the often corrodent and highly corrosive vapor does not further damage the structure of the hall and the metal parts in operation, thus they require less maintenance and get a much longer service life.


A safer work environment

From the point of view of occupational safety, business, in which components are immersed in liquids with high temperatures and/or dangerous to human beings are considered to be a major hazard. The reason behind it is that in a case of any accident occurred at any time with a equipment or any object falling into the liquid present a great danger for safety of workers. To prevent such accidents, a cover layer that can be created with EURO-MATIC balls makes the perfect solution, as it almost completely prevents liquid from splashing. Additionally, by reducing the release of hazardous and non-hazardous, but unpleasant-smelling gases and vapors into the air, a healthier and more pleasant working environment can be achieved.


Reduction of oxygen absorption

By covering the surface of the liquid, the oxygen content of the air absorbs more slowly in the liquid because its open surface is reduced. This advantage can be exploited in industrial environments, because oxygen readily reacts with metals and acts as the engine for corrosion processes. If the dissolved oxygen level of the liquid decreases, the rate of corrosion processes slows down, and the service life of the parts increases. A layer of balls achieves 60% less dissolved oxygen content.

 

 

Easy to install and use

The installation of the balls is a very quick and easy process, with the investment costs being way lower than traditional covering methods. No maintenance is required after installation, so there are no operating and maintenance costs during its long service life. During use, it does not create obstacles to objects immersed or moving on the surface of the liquid. Hence, changes in the liquid level are not causing any problems. We can make a conclusion, that the simple layer formed with EURO-MATIC industrial balls is a flexible system, that performs its function almost unnoticed and does not cause any hindrances with the given technology.
