Solutions in the Landfill Industry
Asahi/America plays a pivotal role in the landfill industry by providing specialized thermoplastic solutions that address the unique challenges of waste management and environmental protection. Asahi/America has a strong history of critical application services in the landfill business with success in simple applications such as small-bore ball valves, chemical resistant piping, and highly-critical double containment piping with leak detection technology. Some other common applications require massive 36″ diameter butterfly valves.
Leachate, the contaminated liquid that drains from landfills, poses significant environmental risks. To manage this, Asahi/America supplies:
- Chemical-resistant piping systems that handle the acidic and variable composition of leachate.
- Double containment piping with leak detection capabilities, ensuring that any leaks are promptly identified and mitigated.
