Control of flows and creation of treatment volumes in ponds
Stagnant water can lead to oxygen-deprived areas with decay and unpleasant odors. Excessive water flow reduces the ability to treat organic or inorganic material effectively.
Floating walls control the flow in the pond, thereby optimizing the possibilities for effective water treatment throughout the entire pond. Floating walls provide longer retention times and prevent the formation of oxygen-deprived areas. Installing floating walls minimizes the occurrence of “short-circuit flows,” thus eliminating the risk of hydrological bypass. Through extended retention time, volumes can be created, which enhances the effectiveness of other treatments such as aeration, chemical dosing, or sedimentation.
Floating walls are an effective solution for optimizing water flows and improving treatment processes in ponds and water reservoirs. By controlling circulation and extending retention time, better conditions are created for biological and chemical treatment, resulting in more stable and efficient water quality.
By limiting unwanted flows and directing water through the entire system, the risk of untreated water bypassing without adequate treatment is reduced.
