Why manually dredge a treatment lagoon?

Let our Axcell Systems biology work for you and your budget! We can provide the following benefits:

• Remedy sludge accumulations by 60-70+% based on organic content
• Reduce odors, sulfide liquid, and air readings
• Increase biological activity to improve effluent quality and methane production
• Reduce sludge by simply improving the biological pathway

If you have issues with a landscape or golf course pond, we can help!

Case Studies:

Food Manufacturer in Florida

A food manufacturer in Florida had a wastewater pretreatment system comprising about a surface acre of area and a 12-foot water depth. Upon discovering through measurements that the system had become full of sludge, we began applying a biostimulant to alleviate the problem.

Results:

• Within less than eight weeks after the initial application, sludge levels were reduced to 5 feet from the initial 12-foot measurement
• This was a reduction of over two million gallons of sludge
• The system was able to discharge to the receiving collection system with no downtime for the plant or its employees

Small Municipality in Alabama

A small municipality in Alabama had a treatment system comprised of a three-stage lagoon system with a daily flow of about 100,000 gallons. We were contacted to address permit issues for ammonia coming from this treatment system.

Our approach:

Results:

• The project began in April
• By the following January, measurements showed an average depth of sludge in the lagoon of between 1" and 2"

Additional Applications

Our technology has been successfully applied in various industries:

• Pulp and paper lagoons
• Dairy farms
• Poultry farms
• Swine farms
• Confined animal feedlots

In fact, the lead story in the Oklahoma Stockman magazine dealt with the use of a biological stimulant in these applications.

Cost-Effective Solution

The costs associated with manual dredging are often accompanied by "sticker shock." Our technology offers a simpler and more cost-effective approach to these problems:

• The sludge is treated where it is
• No need for dredging, removal, or further treatment of the residuals
• Saves on transportation and disposal costs

By using our biological stimulation technology, you can effectively manage your treatment lagoons without the high costs and disruptions associated with traditional dredging methods.
