Sustainable aquaculture: watertight geomembranes with Leister

Resistant water basins for optimum breeding conditions

Shrimp breeding requires a stable and safe environment. Watertight, resistant pools are crucial to withstand extreme weather conditions and to protect the water from contamination. This is why the Palaya Shrimp Farm relies on HDPE membranes, which are known for their high durability, chemical resistance and environmental friendliness. But high-quality materials alone are not enough – the welding seams must be absolutely watertight and reliable. This is where Leister technology comes in.

Leister technology for precise and durable welding seams

The Palaya Shrimp Farm relies on a combination of Leister devices for laying and securely welding HDPE membranes:

• TWINNY T: ideal for long welding seams with high watertightness and mechanical strength.
• WELDPLAST S2: extrusion welder for additional reinforcements and spot repairs.
• EXAMO: quality assurance through precise inspection of the welding seams.

This combination ensures an even, durable connection between the membranes, keeping the water basins absolutely watertight and robust.

Less water consumption, lower maintenance costs

The use of HDPE membranes combined with Leister welding equipment provides both economic and environmental benefits.

• Fewer leaks: less water loss means lower consumption and lower costs.
• Minimal maintenance: the resistant welding seams keep repair costs down.
• Optimized environmental balance: the farm actively helps protect the environment through the efficient use of water and resources.

This means the Palaya Shrimp Farm is able not only to increase its productivity, but also to contribute to the sustainable development of aquaculture

A global trend: greater sustainability in aquaculture

Aquafarming companies are increasingly choosing sustainable solutions, not only in the Philippines but worldwide. HDPE membranes and reliable welding seams facilitate environmentally friendly shrimp farming – with stable tank structures and low maintenance requirements, and without unnecessary water loss.

The collaboration between Palaya Shrimp Farm and Leister shows how modern welding solutions can revolutionize the future of aquaculture. The precise and reliable welding seams ensure sustainable and efficient production that meets the high demands of shrimp farming.
