Watch how a potash tailings pile at a salt mine in Germany was expanded → https://lnkd.in/dz5gqeNd The Potash tailings pile at K+S Minerals and Agriculture GmbH Werra plant site needed expansion as it reached maximum capacity. A hydraulic separation system was installed to prevent water seepage between the extension and the existing heap. Due to the steep, mountainous terrain, reinforcement was required before installation. Solmax addressed logistical challenges by using off-road vehicles and transporting materials up the slope with an excavator. The heaps were sealed with GSE® HD. #GSE #Potash #Mining

Watch how a Biogas cover turns palm oil waste into fuel in Malaysia, here → https://lnkd.in/dDUCC5gN POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent) is an ideal substrate for renewable biogas production, converting waste to energy as it decomposes. A POME Lagoon was lined with 1.00 mm GSE® HD at the base and covered with 1.5 mm GSE HD geomembrane to capture biogas, forming an anaerobic digester. GSE HD geomembranes, known for their chemical and UV resistance, provide an affordable and durable solution.

Situated on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an average altitude of 4,700 meters, the Yulong Copper Mine faces extreme weather conditions and high UV radiation. Solmax contributed to the construction of the mine’s waste containment project, chosen for the durability and reliability of its products in harsh conditions. Solmax supplied GSE® HD geomembrane for the waste dump, intercepting reservoir, retaining dam, and reservoir area anti-seepage system.
