# Floating Covers in Belgium — EuroCover

Patented hexagonal floating covers for Belgian water utilities, food processing, and biogas. Belgocontrol / Aquafin aligned, EU compliant.

Belgian water utilities, wastewater operators, food and beverage processors, and biogas plants
deploy hexagonal floating covers for odor control, heat retention, and algae management. With
relatively low evaporation pressure, the Belgian value proposition centres on operational and
regulatory benefits.

## Belgian water context

Belgium's compact geography and dense industrial activity place wastewater plants close to
residential areas; odor complaint volume drives much of the cover-deployment case. Flanders has a
mature biogas sector; Wallonia has substantial food and beverage processing.

## Belgian regulatory landscape

- **Drinkwater Code (Flanders)** and **Code de l'eau potable (Wallonia)** — regional potable
  regulations.
- **Aquafin / VMM** — Flemish water-cycle utility oversight.
- **EU Water Framework Directive** transposed.

## Common Belgian applications

- **Wastewater plants** with adjacent residential community pressure
- **Biogas digesters and digestate storage** in Flanders agricultural belt
- **Food and beverage processing** (Antwerp / Ghent industrial belt)
- **Brewing CIP and process water** (Belgian brewing tradition)
