LAUNDER COVERS
Protectolite™ launder covers are algae-eliminating covers for clarifiers and other process equipment. Made from compression molded Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP), our covers provide permanent solutions to algae growth problems. Our launder covers are available in custom sizes, all designed and manufactured in-house at our Toronto facility.

Protectolite™ launder covers are designed and manufactured from fiber-reinforced plastics with the aid of a matched metal die molding process.

LAUNDER COVERS IN ACTION
In stagnant water, algae growth is a siginificant problem for plant operators as the algae disrupts the treatment process by causing breakdowns of the UV filters and clogging inlet pipes, pumps and troughs. These organic, slimy growths propagate with the help of sunlight and can coat the weirs and troughs, thereby significantly reducing their efficiency. Furthermore, cleaning them regularly can be extremely time-consuming and economically unviable, as it requires the ceasing of all operations. However, by employing launder covers around the periphery of the wastewater tank or covering the entire surface of the tank, algae growth can be prevented.

Launder covers provide permanent solutions opposed to brushes, sprays and chemicals as they are a root cause solution. Other algae preventable solutions on the market require consumable materials, special training and are cost year over year. Protectolite’s launder covers are a one-time-cost which provide payback immediately to the plant owners and maintenance team.


The most prominent feature of Protectolite™ launder covers is the side-to-side opening design, enabling easy and safe access to the plant operators. The main cover comprises hinged panels with stainless steel hinges and fixed panels. The two types of panels are connected together using bolts.

Fiberglass (FRP) Launder Covers: Modular in design
They can be designed to open to the center of the tank, towards the perimeter or to the side of the tank.

WALKABLE LAUNDER COVERS

Unlike traditional aluminum-made launder covers requiring special non-slip paint to be applied to achieve the anti-slip properties, Protectolite™ launder covers are made non-slippery from the outset, without the need to apply additional anti-slip treatment.

Much like metal covers are made non-slippery using notching, our composite launder covers are designed to maximize friction. Furthermore, unlike aluminum or stainless steel covers, they don’t require additional finishing in the form of non-slippery paint. Lastly, these covers equate the strength of metal covers while remaining lighter than aluminum, making transportation and installation a hassle-free process.
