Floating Baffles Systems
Designed and manufactured since 1969

Floating Baffles are flow control devices which increase the retention time in water treatment lagoons. Increased retention time creates a larger active area improving efficiency. Baffles reduce the Total Suspended Solids (TSS), improves overall water quality and assists industry compliance with state and federal regulations for discharge and treatment of industrial wastewater.

Each baffle system is custom fabricated for each location ensuring ease of installation and superior performance. Elastec/American Marine floating baffle systems incorporate the best components for specific lagoon conditions. Some commonly used fabrics are Seaman Corp. manufactured XR-5, style 6730 and 8130, urethane and PVC’s to name a few. Baffle components are selected for their corrosive resistant properties, ability to withstand ultraviolet radiation (UV), chemical resistance, hydrodynamic conditions and other design criteria.

Our state of the art manufacturing plant is capable of building one-piece baffle sections up to 2500 feet (762 meters), which reduces onsite assembly to zero. The use of next generation thermal and dielectric bonding ensures superior seam strength. Placement of tension members and anchoring expertise puts us far ahead of competitors in the market. Ongoing Research and Development efforts ensure we remain the market leader.

Floating baffle systems are typically used in Wastewater Treatment Plants, Oxidation Ponds, Clarifying, Water Cooling, Clear Wells, Reservoirs and Potable Water applications.

Elastec/American Marine is closely involved from project inception to completion. Extensive experience with engineers, contractors and regulators enables us to provide a comprehensive solution and ensure customer satisfaction.
