Improving the natural processes will speed up decomposition of organic matter resulting in organic sludge reduction without the harmful gasses, such as sulfide and methane compounds resulting from anaerobic decomposition. The aerobic process will help reduce foul odours and help prevent issues from faecal coliform, among other contaminants.
Proper aeration and circulation will also break surface tension on the pond resulting in less surface (or pond) film, a more inhospitable area for mosquito reproduction, and can help limit some algae growth by eliminating stagnant water areas, all leading to a cleaner, more productive storm water retention pond.
Kasco aeration products are built and designed to handle harsh marine environments with stainless steel and thermoplastic construction, energy-efficient operation, and cost-effective pricing.
Things to consider
- Pond size & depth
- Power type and location
