Long time listener, first time caller. I’m an Honors student working in Australia. I have a problem with one of the Lagoon Waste water Treatment Plants I’m working on. The plant works well throughout summer and has enough capacity. The problem is the winter water temperature (sometimes down to 7°c). It appears to be to cold for nitrification and a cheap and easy way of fixing it would be handy. There is no power to the site at all so electrical aerators are out. Any little thing that could bump up the nitrification would be very helpful.

NitrificationBoy:

Visit Lagoonsonline.com and specifically view the following links for cold weather nitrification:

The use of a substrate on which the nitrifiers can attach themselves and increase their number such as the ringlace fixed film system is something to consider.

Depending on sunlight availability, you may cogitate on the use of a solar powered circulation system.
