Composite geomembrane, as a commonly used geotechnical material in anti-seepage engineering, not only plays a significant role in water conservancy and other engineering projects, but also plays a very important role in anti-seepage engineering on the ground of oil fields, especially in preventing land leakage and pollution. So what are the advantages of composite membrane in oil field anti-seepage?
Petrochemical products inevitably experience varying degrees of leakage during transportation, processing, storage, and other processes. Therefore, anti-seepage measures need to be taken for the surface of oil fields. After a relatively long period of erosion, the anti-seepage of traditional concrete may lead to varying degrees of cracks. When oil seeps into the cracks, it will leak into the land, groundwater, and even the ocean, not only causing waste of oil, but also seriously polluting the ecological environment.
The main component of composite geomembrane is polyethylene, also known as plastic film. This type of film can effectively block oil leakage and is not easily corroded by oil, with a service life of up to 50 years; The strength of composite geomembrane is higher, which can prevent surface collapse caused by soil erosion.
The above are the outstanding advantages of composite geomembranes in the application of oil field anti-seepage.
