Containment Systems for Brine and Produced Water Ponds

Salt dome caverns store large volumes of natural gas because the surrounding salt rock is naturally impermeable. Creating and operating those caverns means displacing brine, which is held in large surface ponds and later reused to pressurize the caverns and recover the stored gas. Brine ponds also support desalination, salt harvesting from seawater, mineral condensing, and storage of produced water from oil and gas processing.

Brine is corrosive, and it carries salt crystals and sediment that place constant stress on a liner. A brine pond liner has to resist chemical attack, UV exposure, high compressive stress, and a wide temperature range without developing leaks that could reach soil or groundwater. HDPE geomembranes are commonly specified for this service because of their chemical resistance and durability.

Mustang Containment Solutions installs brine pond liners with trained liner technicians, welders, and pipe crews. A dedicated QA/QC team inspects welded seams and reviews daily trial weld data throughout the installation to confirm the integrity of the finished system.
