Lakes & Pond Remediation (Algae control)

Maintaining adequate dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in water is a critical component to


sustaining healthy ecosystems in lakes and ponds. Low DO levels and the presence of nutrients
such as nitrogen and phosphorus can lead to algae blooms in the epilimnion that further deplete
DO concentrations and degrade water quality. Sustaining DO levels across the entire water
column, including the hypolimnion, helps mitigate algae growth by reducing the rate of nutrient
recycling into the water from the sediment layer. However, effectively aerating the entire water
column with conventional aeration systems poses difficulties, as oxygen transfer is poor in
warm and shallow water bodies, while distribution of oxygen to the hypolimnion layer is
challenging in deep water applications. Harnessing the power of Nano bubbles, it’s proved that
it can cost-effectively reduce and prevent harmful and unsightly algae blooms by effectively
aerating the entire water column independent of depth or temperature.

Chemical Free Treatment


The gas-injection technology produces billions of Nano bubbles per milliliter of water, each less
than 200 nanometers. This enables to transfer oxygen with greater the 90% efficiency. This
efficient oxygen transfer utilizing compressed air helps ponds rapidly increase dissolved oxygen
throughout the entire body of water allowing beneficial bacteria to thrive and consume
nutrients before algae blooms occur. Customers who have installed this type of Nano bubble
generator report elimination and prevention of algae without the use of a single herbicide,
pesticide or other chemical-based algae treatment.
DO Mixing and Distribution
Due to the Nano bubbles' neutral buoyancy, they are able to evenly oxygenate the entire water
column, thereby achieving the same DO level at all depths of a pond. This is particularly
important because the presence of oxygen at lower depths prevents the hypolimnion, the dense
bottom layer of water, from becoming anoxic. Sufficient oxygen at the bottom layer of the water
column prevents the release of nutrients from the sediment, helping mitigate algae blooms.
Additionally, the Nano bubbles are able to oxygenate the sediment passively, minimizing
agitation and improving turbidity and water clarity.

Non-invasive Plug & Play Solution


The Nano bubble generators are positioned outside the body of water. Customers can typically
install and commission the system in half a day by simply connecting PVC or flexible hoses to
and from the generator to the body of water and connecting the generator to a power source.
These simple to install, energy efficient systems, help aquatic management companies and their
customers eliminate and prevent algae more cost effectively than the use of traditional, invasive
aeration systems or fountains combined with chemistry.
