Hollow Plastic Ball Covers for Landfill Leachate Ponds
The challenge
- Odor and VOC complaints from leachate surfaces
- Aggressive, variable leachate chemistry
- Irregular pond shapes
- Regulatory and nuisance pressure
How Armor Ball® helps
Armor Ball® forms a floating barrier that suppresses the odor and VOC release from leachate surfaces that drives nuisance and regulatory pressure. The opaque 91% layer caps the surface and also limits algae.
The UV-stabilized HDPE is inert to most industrial liquids across pH 2–13, and the poured-on layer conforms to any pond geometry and self-adjusts to changing levels — with no anchoring, liner penetration, or maintenance.
What to look for when covering a leachate ponds surface
- Leachate chemistry: Leachate varies widely by site; request material certs and an SDS to confirm compatibility with your specific chemistry.
- Odor priority: Where odor is the primary driver, the 91% physical barrier targets the surface emissions behind most complaints.
- Irregular ponds: The balls fill any outline with no fabrication and re-arrange as levels change.

FAQ
Leachate Ponds — questions answered
Will the balls hold up to landfill leachate?
Armor Ball® is molded from UV-stabilized HDPE that is inert to most industrial liquids across pH 2–13. Because leachate chemistry varies widely, request material certs and SDS to confirm compatibility with your specific site.
Is a ball cover better than a membrane for leachate odor?
Both reduce surface emissions. A ball cover pours on with no anchoring or liner penetration, conforms to any shape, and allows access, whereas a membrane is a sealed, anchored system better suited to gas-tight containment. See our ball-cover vs. membrane comparison.
