Turbidity Curtains Used In a
Pond With Heavy Metals
Question regarding turbidity curtains to contain heavy metals. I need some information on these turbidity curtains. I am going to be using them in a pond with heavy metals and a ph of about 3.5, and it is going to surround a pump so about 100 feet.
I just wanted to know what type of metal the hardware was and if a silt curtain could be implemented for this type of application.

Answer:
Thanks for asking! Our floating turbidity curtains have been frequently implemented in the containment of heavy metals during remediation, construction and other activities. Depending on your project, they have even been used in environmental remediation projects such as the removal of pcb (heavy metals) or coal tar related products.
To help us determine the best silt curtain or product to work in your location, please don't hesitate to give us a call to discuss your requirements. We often work directly with customers to help them develop a plan that can work for their area or project requirements.
Turbidity Curtain Materials and Construction
The main portions of the turbidity or silt curtain are made with a highly durable and resistant PVC material. This material is used to cover the top flotation device and creates the entire skirt or curtain.
This helps to provide high resistance to water and other materials (such as silt or heavy metals) that you are trying to contain.
Connecting parts of the turbidity curtain utilize the use of galvanized steel. This type of material is often used for the bottom chain and tension cable. For the top fittings or for larger curtain types, we may use an aluminum material. This material may be used on fittings including section slide connectors. If specifically required for your location, these fittings can also be replaced with stainless steel.
