Double membrane anaerobic digester cover material

Single & Double Membrane Cover Applications

DERFLEX membrane materials can be specified for inner gas membranes, outer protective membranes, flexible digester roofs and biogas storage cover systems.

What Is It?

What Is an Anaerobic Digester Cover Membrane?

An anaerobic digester cover membrane is a reinforced, flexible, gas-tight membrane used to seal digesters and biogas storage structures where organic material decomposes without oxygen.

Gas Sealing

The membrane helps retain methane-rich biogas, reduce odor release and support safer gas collection for downstream use such as heating, CHP, upgrading or storage.

Weather Protection

The outer membrane layer or cover surface protects the digester from UV exposure, wind, rain, snow load, temperature changes and long-term outdoor aging.

Process Stability

A reliable cover membrane helps maintain an anaerobic environment, reduce oxygen intrusion, improve odor control and support stable gas pressure management.

Membrane Structure

DERFLEX PVC Coated Polyester Membrane Construction

The performance of a digester cover depends on the entire material structure: base fabric strength, coating formulation, gas barrier behavior, surface treatment and welding stability.

Top Surface

UV-Stabilized & Weather-Resistant Surface

Helps resist sunlight, outdoor aging, moisture, microbial exposure and routine cleaning conditions in agricultural, municipal and industrial biogas plants.

PVC Coating

Gas-Tight PVC Formulation

Specially formulated PVC coating supports low permeability, chemical resistance and weldable membrane performance for methane, CO₂, moisture and H₂S-containing biogas environments.

Reinforcement

High-Tenacity Polyester Base Fabric

Balanced warp and weft strength helps the membrane withstand tension, pressure fluctuation, wind load, handling stress and long-term dimensional demand.

Back Coating

Weldable Inner Coating Layer

Engineered for strong seam performance by high-frequency welding or hot-air welding, depending on system design, project specification and fabrication method.

Note: Final membrane weight, coating type, flame-retardant grade, color, permeability requirement, welding method and service life target should be confirmed according to tank size, gas pressure, local climate, chemical exposure and project engineering design.
