If you have a lagoon and are not needing to keep rain water out then LECA AeroTop is a good option. Easy to install and can be a very cost effective option. LECA is also ideal for older slurry tanks that might not be able to take a tension cover.

For IPPC pig units that have to get slurry stores covered this year. (by Feb 2021) Keeping rain water out might be a key feature so a solid floating cover is going to be best for what you are looking for. We can build in many options for effective mixing under the cover.

Is there a definite specification or standard for the covering material?

Need to be approved by the EA, SEPA or NRW depending on what part of the country you live in.

So the NPA are holding talks with the Environment Agency about suitable covers to meet the legislation.

So as I understand PVC (solid floating plastic type cover), LLDPE (solid floating plastic type cover), LECA (floating clay ball aggregate)

As I understand it, no clear requirements for any of the above.

If you are running an IPPC pig unit you do have to have your slurry stores covered by Feb 2021. There are a number of option and the above are three possibilities. Depending if you are needing to to keep rain water out of a tank or lagoon a solid cover would be the best option. If not needing to keep rain water out and the focus is on reduction of emissions the LECA is one of the most cost effective.
