Aeration uses
Pond & Lake Management
- Aeration provides a solution to manage bodies of water of all sizes, types and depths.
- The installation of an aeration system can:
- increase water clarity and quality
- remove sludge
- eliminate smell from water
- reduce phosphates up to 95%
- eliminate algae growth
- eliminate fish kills
- moderate temperature throughout water, and eliminate thermocline
- We offer a diverse variety of aeration systems including underwater diffusers, surface aerators, and fountain aerators. Contact us today to discuss a custom aeration system.
- Aeration greatly increases many aspects of water quality. Aeration can decrease heavy metals, pollutants, BOD, COD, phosphates and bacteria/coliform levels. Aeration also decreases pH making water more suitable for greenhouses or hydroponics operations. Many parts of Canada have extremely high levels of radon, a known carcinogen in their ground and ground-water and Alberta and Saskatchewan have some of the highest levels in Canada. Our team can design an aeration system that can reduce radon to acceptable levels.
- Aeration can significantly increase water quality by reducing heavy metals such as iron, magnesium and manganese, reduces phosphates and brings pH closer to neutral. Aeration also reduces ecoli and other bacteria. Aeration’s ability to eliminate sludge and algae growth are additional benefits of aeration that make it an obvious process to add to municipal water treatment program. Kasco Marine has developed a unique aeration mixer that is NSF certified and is designed to move 18 gallons per minute. It is designed specifically for aeration in municipal water treatment facilities. Call us today for a consultation as to how to work an aeration system into your water treatment program.
- The aeration process provides a simple solution for keeping tailing ponds, wastewater or process ponds clean. We can combine aeration with polymers to clear up wash ponds and tailing ponds as well. If your environment is high in hydrocarbons or corrosive materials our team can choose material that is resistant for your specific projects.
- A quality water source can be a significant factor determining success in raising your livestock. Aeration provides a low maintenance, simple solution to increase water quality. Aerated dugout water has been proven to increase weight gain in steers by 10%. Additionally, aeration reduces hydrogen sulphide, and can reduce and prevent growth of e-coli and other bacteria. Aeration is a great solution to increase water quality and livestock health in any drinking water sources, including dugouts.
