Is it true that expanded clay aggregate or eca is preferred for covers for sludge storage tanks

Yes, it is, Sludge storage tanks typically require covers to keep them at the proper temperature: often 90°F for mesophilic operation, or 140°F for thermophilic operation. It can be difficult to develop a cover that’s lightweight, yet offers proper insulation for a sludge storage tank, whether you work in the waste management or livestock rearing industry.

Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA ®) is ideal for this purpose. ECA ® can be used to create a floating cover layer on sludge tanks. It’s very lightweight and has highly thermally-insulative properties. In turn, this helps ensure the proper operation of the microbes and micro-organisms in your tank, streamlining the waste management process and enhancing efficiency.
