... that the 1.5 mm f-HDPE GM liner used to containing the hydrocarbon spill on Brevoort Island is likely to perform well for a period well in excess of 25 years at the average field temperature (−1°C). Based on the findings from the diffusion tests with jet fuel on one side and water on the other (i.e. similar...
