Aerated lagoons in wastewater treatment
With aerated lagoons you can reduce emission fees per volume, prevent penalty fees from exceeding emission limits and get rid of the bad smell.
Say yes to aeration and no to bad odour
Water is the universal solvent, mass transfer media, coolant, and raw material for industrial processes. Inevitably, the use of water also means liquid emissions, which in numerous industrial sites is manifested by wastewater ponds and basins.
Aerated lagoons are simple wastewater treatment processes. Lagoons are usually large, relatively shallow basins with long residence times. This means the process water is pumped into the lagoon and left there for biological wastewater treatment. Lagoons can be completely mixed or facultative type where only the surface layer is aerated and mixed.
One of the main objectives of lagoons is to provide time for biological wastewater treatment. Biological treatment requires oxygen, which means you have to somehow introduce additional oxygen to the water. Usually, the diffusion of atmospheric oxygen together with photosynthesis is not enough to provide oxygen for other than very low-load wastewaters. Thus, efficient aeration is required to achieve emission limits and effluent quality targets.
Your solution to water treatment and conditioning
Aeration provides solution to water treatment and conditioning in various industries:
- Pulp and paper
- Chemical industries
- Food and beverages
- Mining applications
- Landfill sites
- Fish farming
Eliminate bad odour
How to improve the water quality? The reason for the foul smell of industrial lagoons and basins often lies in poor or negligible aeration that results in anaerobic processes. By simply introducing more oxygen to the water, you can solve two problems at once:
Get rid of the bad smell >
Prevent penalty fees from exceeding emission limits
Improve water quality > Lower wastewater fees
Reduce costs
How to introduce more oxygen to lagoons, ponds and basins? VuOxi has an aeration solution that is highly efficient and has a low initial investment: VuOxi Floating Aerator. Adding oxygen to the water helps reduce the bad smell, improve water quality and thus reduce wastewater costs!
Floating Aerator: Convenient Aeration Solution
The aerators are easy to retrofit to existing lagoons and basins. After start-up, they immediately start improving the quality of the water. We offer a wide range of floating aerators for ponds and basins with different dimensions and oxygen requirements.
- Low-cost solution
- Convenient and light setup (requires only mooring & electrical supply)
- No need to empty the lagoon for the installation
Standing water can result in oxygen depletion and problems with water quality. A foul smell of industrial basins is often attributable to poor or negligible aeration and resulting anaerobic processes.
