Industrial Process Pond Aeration
Industrial environments demand aeration systems built for performance and reliability. Our bottom diffuser aeration systems are proven in applications ranging from coal mines to cement and pulp mills, delivering efficient oxygen transfer and consistent water quality improvement. Designed to handle high organic and chemical loads, our systems enhance biological treatment, reduce odour, and help meet discharge regulations. With robust construction and energy-efficient operation, our aeration solutions keep industrial ponds running cleanly and efficiently under the most demanding conditions.
Our team supplied and installed an aeration system for a coal mine in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, as part of an iron reduction pilot project. This system, designed for a large 66 ft diameter tank at an elevation of over 2000 m, features 40 Mega X2 diffusers. We custom-built a 40-way air manifold and supplied two 40 HP blowers. Aeration is a key method for removing iron from water, and this system integrates with additional filters further down the treatment line. We continue to collaborate with the client's engineers to monitor and assess the systems performance, ensuring it meets the intended goals and contributes to the overall iron reduction process.
In the summer of 2024, our team installed a fine bubble aeration system at a large 6.5-acre process pond for a cement plant to address odour issues. After thorough site assessments by our biologists, who identified sulfur bacteria as the source of the unpleasant smells and low oxygen levels, we designed and implemented a turnkey solution. This system features 12 Can-Air Mega diffusers and uses a total of 2 HP.
Meadow Lake Mechanical Pulp Mill
Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan
Our team completed a 26-diffuser aeration system in an industrial pulp and paper mill distillate equalization pond. This project was completed with Pond Pro's largest Can-Air Diffuser Pro XL diffusers to produce maximum aeration within the pond to help improve pulp quality. This project was completed in the Fall of 2021.
