Overview

Efficient Landfill Management Solutions

The Atmos Alternative Daily Cover System is an advanced solution for landfill cover designed to lower operational costs, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. By providing superior daily cover material and application equipment, this system helps you reduce landfill odour control issues, preserve valuable airspace and protect employees at your site.

System Components

 
  • Atmos ADC (Alternative Daily Cover Material)
    Atmos ADC is a non-hardening, protein-based foam engineered to provide exceptional landfill cover. The dilution ratio and coverage depth can be adjusted to ensure flexibility, allowing the foam to last overnight or over a weekend, depending on operational requirements.
  • Application Equipment
    The Pneumatic Foam Unit (PFU) 2500, a Morooka-based, self-propelled application system that enables a single operator to efficiently cover large working areas in under an hour. It provides a quick and easy method to apply landfill cover, ensuring effective landfill odour control with minimal downtimes.
  • Bulk Storage & Dilution Solution
    The BSD 7000 is an automated storage and dilution system is designed for bulk deliveries of the Atmos Cover ADC. It connects directly to the to the PFU 2500, ensuring seamless transfer and optimal dilution of the foam concentrate for consistent daily landfill cover application.
