Western Ag Enterprises Lagoon Covers & Liners

By Western Ag Enterprises

Last reviewed: December 2025

Impermeable covers and liners for manure lagoons providing odor control, gas collection, and environmental compliance.

Lagoon covers provide a barrier over manure storage lagoons to control odors, collect biogas, and meet environmental requirements. Cover materials include various geomembranes designed for the application.

Covers can be designed for simple odor control or integrated with biogas collection for energy generation or methane destruction (flaring). Proper design accounts for gas management, rainwater handling, and access needs.

Lagoon liners prevent groundwater contamination and are often required by regulation. Liner selection depends on soil conditions and regulatory requirements.
