Sustainable Landfill Containment with Diatomaceous Earth & Attapulgite Clay

Blended diatomaceous earth (DE) and attapulgite clay provide sustainable, eco-friendly landfill lining and waste containment solutions for refineries and industrial operations, reducing environmental risk and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Why Landfill Containment Matters in Industrial Operations

Refineries and chemical processing plants generate solid and semi-solid wastes, including sludges, spent absorbents, filter cakes, and chemical residues. Improper landfill management can lead to:

  • Leachate migration contaminating soil and groundwater
  • Environmental hazards from organic and inorganic waste
  • Non-compliance with local and international regulations
  • Structural instability in landfill layers

To protect the environment and maintain operational compliance, using natural mineral liners is a reliable and sustainable solution.

How DE + Attapulgite Clay Improves Landfill Lining

Eco Pawz CleanUp®, a blend of diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay, is ideal for industrial landfill applications.

Key Benefits:

  • Prevents Leachate Migration: Porous structure absorbs liquids while stabilizing landfill layers
  • Maintains Porosity & Stability: Granular composition allows easy placement, compaction, and long-term durability
  • Reduces Environmental Risk: Minimizes contamination from chemical and organic waste
  • Dual-Purpose Use: Can be applied after spill cleanup or as part of waste management strategies

Applications:

  • Industrial landfill lining for chemical, petrochemical, and refinery waste
  • Moisture stabilization in waste containment systems
  • Eco-friendly alternative to synthetic liners

Why Blended DE & Attapulgite Clay is Superior

While attapulgite clay provides high absorption, adding diatomaceous earth enhances:

  • Adsorption of fine chemical residues, improving environmental protection
  • Structural stability for landfill layers
  • Eco-friendly dual functionality, allowing reuse in spill management or filtration applications

This natural mineral blend offers a versatile and sustainable solution for refineries, chemical plants, and industrial operations.
