Wastewater Facilities
Less sludge, more oxygen and fewer odors in lagoons and treatment ponds.
Recovering lagoon capacity and performance
Wastewater lagoons and treatment ponds depend on oxygen and biological activity to do their job. As sludge builds up, capacity shrinks, oxygen demand rises, and odors and algae follow.
We measure sludge depth and composition, then use aeration, oxygenation and biological sediment reduction to recover capacity lost to organic sludge and improve performance without draining the pond.
Common challenges
What we help with
Sludge buildup
Accumulated solids that reduce capacity and treatment time.
Low oxygen
Oxygen demand that outpaces what the lagoon can supply.
Algae and duckweed
Surface growth that affects treatment and effluent quality.
Odors
Low oxygen conditions that produce odor complaints.
Measuring progress
Sludge depth data to track reduction over time.
Permit compliance
Oxygen, nutrient and sludge depth data that helps you track effluent quality against your permit limits.
