MPC Containment products

The bacteria used in the anaerobic digestion of organic waste can exist only in an oxygen-free environment, and they work faster at elevated temperatures. MPC’s floating covers keep the bacteria’s temperature stable, and eliminate odor by containing the methane that the bacteria expel. The methane can then be burned off, used as power for the facility, or sold to utility companies for added profit. MPC designs, fabricates, and installs floating covers for farms, food processing plants, paper mills, and other facilities that produce organic waste worldwide.

Floating covers are recommended—and in many cases legislated—for use in drinking water reservoirs to protect the water from being contaminated by rainwater, dirt, bird droppings, dead animals, leaves, and acts of vandalism. Floating covers also protect drinking water from sunlight, preventing evaporation and the growth of algae and other unwanted organisms. MPC has designed, fabricated and installed floating reservoir covers in numerous locations in the United States. International applications include India, Israel, France and Kwajelain.
