26:24 – Sludge Reduction
PondZilla Pro
PondZilla Pro is an aquatic catalyst that provides better algaecide results by enhancing penetration. PondZilla Pro allows the algaecide to work more thoroughly and helps to clarify water.
Sludge Rx
Sludge Rx tablets will turn 1 foot of nutrient-filled sludge into a few inches of bacterial biomass. Designed for all types of wastewater facilities, these tablets lower effluent TSS, ammonia, phosphate, coliforms, and effluent pH.
OxyPaks XL
OxyPaks XL is and oxygen source that is used in wastewater lagoons, as well as sand and rock filters, to accelerate the digestion of sludge and prevent odors. This product allows the VitaStim Lagoon Line bacteria to better penetrate the sludge and degrade it.
VitaStim
Summer Slam
VitaStim Summer Slam is a blend of bacteria specially selected for use in water temperatures above 75 ° F and removes 30%-60% of the sludge from your lagoon while clearing the water, reducing dredging, and lowering ammonia.
VitaStim
Sludge Reducer
Sludge Reducer naturally decreases sludge blanket thickness at 1/10th the cost of dredging. With VitaStim Sludge Reducer you can easily remove 30-60% of sludge from your lagoon. As the bacteria go to work consuming organics you’ll also notice improvements in effluent BOD, TSS, and decreased odor.
Dear Sir,
if the lagoon has expensive fish.. can we apply the copper.
Hello Khalid,
Copper can be toxic to fish and the alkalinity of the water affects how much so. If alkalinity is less than 50 ppm, copper treatments have a high risk.
