Benefits of BAF & BGC Remediation |
 |
|
The benefits of BAF (biologically active
filtration) & BGC (biogeochemical) remediation are:
- reduce/eliminate odours and toxic anaerobic respiration byproducts
including greenhouse and acid rain gases
- reduce biological and chemical oxygen demand
- reduce solids and suspended solids
- reduce/eliminate use of potentially harmful chemicals
- reduced energy consumption when compared with
other circulators and aerators
- reduce the environmental, economic, and social costs associated
with surface water, wastewater, and liquid sewage management
- reverse lake eutrophication through aeration and circulation which
promotes a constant and consistent increase in the overall productivity
and biodiversity within
the epilimnion
- increase dissolved oxygen available for desirable aquatic species
including microorganisms
- increase in aquatic species diversity, competition and predation
- control nuisance aquatic plants (algae,
Eurasian milfoil, duck weed) and
harmful pest organisms (mosquitoes, coliform bacteria, etc.)
- improve community image through lagoon odour management, promotion
of Kyoto friendly practices, and through use of low cost and environmentally
friendly eco-economic waste management practices
The environmentally friendly remediation of surface waters and waste
waters
through use of the Little River Pond Mill® circulator provides environmental,
economic, and social benefits to the environment and the community.
Circulation, combined with passive and active aeration,
created by the Little River Pond Mill® circulator impeller, promotes enhanced decomposition of organic matter, mineralization
and stabilization of nutrient
elements, utilization of nutrients, and an overall change in the population
dynamics and species diversity of surface water and waste
water.
