Heat Retention

The heat retention requirements of each system determine the thickness of the insulation in the LemTec modular cover. Heat loss calculations are performed on the influent wastewater temperature and ambient cold weather conditions to determine the optimal R value. A fully covered treatment process, whether in a lagoon or a tank, is typically designed to maintain effluent temperature within 2 degrees Celsius of the influent temperature. Ranging from one to four inches of insulation and everything in between, LemTec covers are custom-built to meet specific needs.
