# Floating Covers in the Netherlands — EuroCover

Patented hexagonal floating covers for Dutch water utilities, agriculture, and food processing. STOWA-aligned, EU WFD compliant.

Dutch water utilities, wastewater plants, food and beverage processors, and biogas operators
deploy hexagonal floating covers for algae control, odor capture, and heat retention. The
Netherlands is not evaporation-stressed; the value proposition is operational and regulatory.

## Dutch water context

Water-rich but increasingly stressed by saltwater intrusion and operational complexity. Floating
covers in the Netherlands deploy primarily for:

- Algae control on storage reservoirs (Drinkwaterbedrijven)
- Odor capture on wastewater plants (community-pressure sensitive)
- Heat retention on biogas digesters (mature Dutch biogas sector)

## Dutch regulatory landscape

- **Waterwet** — Dutch Water Act.
- **Drinkwaterwet** — Drinking Water Act; NSF-61 satisfies materials-in-contact requirements.
- **STOWA** technical references for water utility practice.

## Common Dutch applications

- **Drinkwaterbedrijf** (drinking water company) service reservoirs
- **Rioolwaterzuiveringsinstallatie** (RWZI) wastewater plant odor capture
- **Biogas digester** heat retention and odor control
- **Food and beverage process water**
