  • Patent number: 9309639
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system, a method, a geocomposite and a fluid recovery connector in aggregates 5 (S), the system being characterized in that it comprises, on the one hand, at least one layer, so-called barrier layer (5), having permeability adapted to the blockage of fluid (G, L) and beneath which is arranged at least one geocomposite (2) comprising perforated mini-drains (23) and at least one layer, so-called 10 through layer (22) having permeability adapted to the passage of fluid (G, L), and on the other hand, connectors (4) arranged to connect the perforated mini-drains (23) to discharge pipes (3) connected to at least one pumping device (6), such that at least one fluid (G, L) present in the aggregates (S) can reach the interior of the perforated mini-drains (23) and be discharged to 15 the pumping device (6).

  • Patent number: 8970201
    Abstract: A geocomposite for positioning under a geomembrane comprising at least one first geotextile covered by at least one second geotextile at least one electrically conductive textile being positioned between the second geotextile and the first geotextile. The conductive textile having a module for connecting to a phase of an electric generator. The geocomposite being in the form of one or several strips at the edges of which the second geotextile, the first geotextile and the electrically conductive textile are separate from each other, the geocomposite comprising perforated ringed mini-drains positioned parallel with each other on the first geotextile and covered with the second geotextile.

  • Publication number: 20130292343
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (1) and to a method for collecting chemical compound(s) in aggregate (S), characterized in that it comprises at least one surface on which is placed at least one geocomposite (2) comprising at least one draining layer (22) on which there are perforated mini-drains (23) each containing at least one chemical compound fixing filament (24), aggregate (S) being placed on said geocomposite (2) in such a way that a fluid (L), which becomes laden with chemical compound(s) as it passes through the aggregate (S), reaches the inside of said perforated mini-drains (23) in which said fixing filaments (24) collect the chemical compound(s).
