Sewage Lagoon Aeration
Sewage Lagoon Aeration in Canada
Bottom Diffused Aeration for Sewage Lagoons
Bottom diffused aeration is widely recognized as the most efficient aeration system available, as it releases microbubbles from the lagoon bottom, significantly increasing oxygen levels and promoting effective water circulation. This advanced aeration method offers extensive benefits for lagoons, such as improved water quality, enhanced biological activity, and reduced odors, making it an ideal solution for maintaining ecological balance and supporting aquatic life. Additionally, bottom diffused aeration systems are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and require minimal maintenance, further contributing to their appeal for lagoon management. By investing in this innovative technology, lagoon operators can ensure optimal performance and sustainability, ultimately benefiting both the environment and local communities.
Bottom diffused aeration has extensive benefits for lagoons including:
•Decreased BOD & COD levels
•Restoring oxygen to pond bottom
•Reducing phosphates up to 95%
•Reducing sedimentation
•Reducing internal nutrient cycling
•Lowering pH levels
•Reducing algae & unwanted vegetation
•Reducing smells cause by hydrogen gas
•Boost organics & nutrients breakdown up to 10X faster

We offer premium aeration brands, designed for efficiency in industrial applications and harsh winter climates, including Can-Air Aeration and Kasco Marine Robust-Aire Aeration Systems. While our experts recommend the micro-bubble tubing diffusers used in the Robust-Aire and Can-Air systems, we offer all styles of diffusers, including EPDM membrane diffusers.
Surface Aeration for Sewage Lagoons
Surface aerators are a popular choice for sewage lagoon aeration in Canada due to their efficiency and effectiveness. The professional-grade Kasco Marine AF-Series Surface Aerators are industry leaders in performance. These aerators deliver up to 3.0 pounds of oxygen per horsepower for every hour of operation, ensuring optimal aeration. Available in a range of 1/2HP to 5HP, these industrial aerators provide robust aeration solutions for effective sewage treatment. Their reliability and high oxygen transfer rates make them an excellent choice for maintaining healthy and efficient sewage lagoons.
While these aerators have screens, the need to clear the screens can be reduced or eliminated if set up correctly. By placing two surface aerators side by side and setting them to run at alternate hours, the aerator running is usually able to clean the one that is temporarily turned off.
Surface aerators offer a strong alternative to diffuser aeration systems and are particularly well-suited for specific municipal and industrial applications. Their design ensures efficient oxygen transfer and mixing, making them ideal for treating large volumes of water effectively.
