As India embraces cleaner energy alternatives, biogas plants are becoming an integral part of sustainable waste management and renewable energy systems. However, the performance and safety of a biogas plant largely depend on one overlooked factor — the quality of the PVC-coated fabric used in its biogas balloon or gas holder.

At >LUCKY-TECH MEMBRANES, we manufacture premium PVC-coated fabrics in India, exclusively in partnership with SIOEN INDUSTRIES (Belgium) — a global leader in coated technical textiles. Our European-quality PVC membranes are specially engineered for biogas storage applications, ensuring superior gas retention, mechanical strength, and long-term durability.

Choose the Right Fabric Quality from the Start

The foundation of a long-lasting biogas balloon is the fabric itself. Low-cost or untested local fabrics often lose flexibility and gas retention over time.

By contrast, LUCKY-TECH PVC membranes, developed with SIOEN Belgium’s coating technology, offer:

• High tensile and tear strength
• Superior gas-tight barrier layers
• Resistance to UV rays, microbial attack, and biogas condensate

Using European-quality fabric ensures that your biogas storage system remains reliable for over a decade, minimizing maintenance and downtime.

Protect Against UV and Weather Damage

India’s tropical climate is challenging — with high temperatures, intense sunlight, and heavy rains. Over time, these can weaken the membrane if it’s not properly protected.

That’s why LUCKY-TECH PVC-coated fabrics come with UV-stabilized and weatherproof coatings that prevent degradation caused by sunlight and heat.

• Anti-fungal coatings protect against mold formation
• Fire-retardant properties enhance operational safety
• Color-stable coatings maintain aesthetic appeal and performance

These weather-resistant layers significantly extend the life of biogas balloons, even in outdoor and industrial environments.

Ensure Proper Installation and Tensioning

Even the best fabric can fail if not installed correctly. Improper tensioning can cause stress points, air pockets, and premature wear.

To avoid this, LUCKY-TECH offers technical guidance and support to EPC contractors, installers, and plant owners. Our membranes are designed for:

• Easy welding
• Uniform tension distribution
• Long-term dimensional stability

This ensures airtight sealing from day one.

A precise installation using LUCKY-TECH membranes helps reduce maintenance costs and prevents gas leakage issues in the future.

Regular Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance

Routine care goes a long way in extending the life of your biogas gas holders. Dust, organic residue, and bird droppings can accumulate and damage the top layer over time.

To maintain your membrane’s strength and appearance:

• Clean with mild detergent and soft brushes
• Avoid harsh chemicals or sharp tools
• Inspect seams and anchor points periodically

LUCKY-TECH membranes are designed for low-maintenance performance, with smooth surfaces that prevent dirt buildup and simplify cleaning.

Periodic Inspections and Timely Repairs

A proactive maintenance schedule can help detect minor issues before they turn major. Small punctures or seam wear, if left unattended, can reduce gas-holding efficiency.

LUCKY-TECH PVC fabrics are easy to repair using compatible welding or patching techniques. Their superior coating adhesion ensures that repairs restore complete gas-tightness without affecting structural integrity.

With regular inspections and professional upkeep, your biogas balloons can operate efficiently for 10–15 years or more.
