O D – Foreign Object Damage costs the airline industry millions of dollars each year – objects on the ground can burst tires and bird strikes in the air damage engines, wings and fuselage. This combined with the significant risk to human life make FOD a serious issue.

Waterfowl fatalities and process fouling in municipal and industrial ponds can be prevented by covering ponds with a Hollow Floating Ball Cover system. Two main problems associated with birds and waste water are process fouling resulting from increased organic accumulations, and wildlife fatalities from toxic process wastewater.

The bird deterrent ball cover camouflages the water surface from waterfowl which prevents unwanted birds from using or contaminating the water. Berms are cleaner as there are no geese droppings around the pond and no droppings will eliminate a potential additional ammonia load.

The floating bird deterrent covers are approved by the FAA. It is suggested that when the ECC ball covers are located within 100 yards of a runway then a heavier water-filled ball should be installed.

Not just a ball but a solution to a problem for many Municipal Drinking Water applications, ECC provides not just a ball, but a solution to a problem. Most of our successful installations have resulted from working closely with customers, sharing our ideas and experience and tailoring a solution to meet their specific requirements. ECC floating ball blankets provide highly effective solutions to difficult water storage problems for Municipal Utilities. By placing a sufficient quantity of hollow plastic balls onto the surface of a liquid, the balls automatically arrange themselves into a close packed formation over 91% of the surface area. This high surface coverage provides an extremely effective barrier and significantly reduces the mass and heat transfer mechanisms operating between the liquid and surrounding environment. The hollow plastic balls will form a floating cover for ponds, tanks, lagoons, and other basins.

ECC shade ball covers also known as Shade Balls are providing a way to mitigate bromate formation by blocking sunlight in reservoirs. Less expensive than other remedies, the shade balls do not require extensive construction, parts, labor, or maintenance.

Plastic Balls for Mist and Vapor Control in the Mining Industry. Acid mist generated by electrowinning metals from acidic electrolytes can be dramatically reduced with ECC Hollow Plastic Balls.
