GES Unveils EnviroBalls™: A Game-Changer for Water Management
Global Environmental Solutions, LLC (GES) recently introduced its latest innovative product,
EnviroBalls™, a modular floating water cover system that promises to revolutionize water management for municipalities and industrial operators alike. This cutting-edge system is specifically engineered for reservoirs, wastewater treatment, industrial evaporation control, and even bird deterrence in aviation environments.
A Reliable Solution for Water Infrastructure
Rocco Petrilli, Chief Revenue Officer of GES, emphasized the intention behind the development of EnviroBalls™: "In developing EnviroBalls™, we focused on delivering a solution our customers can rely on in critical water infrastructure applications. The name reflects a product that is engineered, practical, and built to perform consistently in the field."
What sets EnviroBalls™ apart? Made from UV-stabilized high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these innovative hollow spheres float on the surface of water, forming a self-adjusting and scalable cover layer. This not only minimizes evaporation—which can be reduced by up to 80% under specific conditions—but also protects water quality by limiting UV penetration that promotes algae growth.
Versatile Applications
The applications for EnviroBalls™ are diverse. In industrial sectors, they help manage unpleasant odors from paper plants and suppress harmful chemical emissions, such as acid mist in electrowinning tanks. Additionally, in aviation and infrastructure projects, the spheres effectively eliminate open water surfaces that attract birds, thereby mitigating wildlife hazards and maintaining regulatory compliance near airports.
Unlike conventional fixed covers, EnviroBalls™ boast a design that eliminates the need for anchoring or structural supports. This innovative feature significantly streamlines installation, thereby cutting both complexity and costs. Operators have the option to deploy partial coverage and expand as necessary, making the product adaptable to a variety of operational needs.
Key Applications Include:
- - Water infrastructure reservoir evaporation control
- - Wastewater lagoon covers
- - Stormwater pond management
- - Drinking water storage protection
- - Industrial applications in mining, such as acid mist suppression in copper electrowinning tanks
- - Airport stormwater ponds and detention basins for wildlife deterrence
Durability Meets Efficiency
EnviroBalls™ are designed for durability in harsh environments. They resist UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and a broad array of chemical environments. GES maintains rigorous quality control protocols to ensure consistent wall thickness and verified buoyancy, so operators can rely on long-lasting performance.
GES is committed to supporting each project with thorough evaluations, coverage modeling, sizing calculations, and application-specific engineering guidance. Petrilli shared, "EnviroBalls™ water covers are a proven, straightforward solution for reducing evaporation, limiting algae growth, and protecting water quality. Our entry into this market aims to provide a high-quality, engineered solution that our customers can depend on across municipal and industrial applications."
