Lagoon Treatment

The major problems associated with animal lagoons and the animal industry are the extensive noxious odors and the accumulation of solid manure due to the anaerobic status of lagoons and litter areas. Septi-Sol™ and a aerobic microorganism culture will eliminate the odor problem and enhance the degradation of solids.

Noxious odors disappear rapidly following the Septi-Sol™ treatment with a significant improvement observed within the first few minutes. In many instances, this odor is simply intolerable to the surrounding communities and may pose an eventual health risk forcing closure or relocation. The amount of product required for a successful treatment varies, but is cost effective. In many cases, it will actually reduce the overall cost of operation. By improving the environmental quality and accelerating the rate of solid degradation, the high cost of frequent lagoon clean-out processes is eliminated. Many non-treated odors and their resulting gases (ammonia), cause disease and sickness with animals and birds.

Odors may be attributed to many parts of a working organization and waste flow. Prior to the Septi-Sol™ treatment, there is usually odor in the pens and barns, odor in the drainage area to the lagoons, odor from the ditches, odor from the washed-down and recycled water, and odor from the lagoon. Septi-Sol™ is capable of solving each of these odor problems... and more.

Some operations have installed filtration systems for recycling water and have discovered the incredible recycled water quality provided by Septi-Sol™, as well as the reduced required maintenance of the filtration system. This not only translates to significant water savings, it also diminishes the total water volume in surrounding lagoons and eliminates the substantial discharge into waste streams improving environmental quality.

Most Septi-Sol™ treatment users have recognized the hidden benefits of their newly treated water. Septi-Sol™ treated water can be used for irrigation purposes. In fact, Septi-Sol™ treated water applied to any soil, actually improves the soil condition; helping to normalize pH, improve water percolation, improve water retention, and improve crop yields.
