Industrial & Wastewater Ponds


Industrial, septic/sewage ponds, and agricultural waste ponds all provide a valuable function of processing high nutrient waters. As lagoons age, they simply do not process all the waste entering and this builds sludge; as sludge increases and water volume decreases, this reduces retention time in the system, which reduces the effectiveness and therefore increases residual sludge buildup, compounding the problem.  Louisiana Pond Management can help keep your system in compliance while transitioning to upgrades that will allow your system to continue to operate more efficiently and effectively going forward.

Frequently, wastewater lagoons in small communities have a difficult time maintaining compliance with BOD, turbidity and other compliance parameters, as the community experiences growth and the introduction of new businesses (restaurants, hotels, truck stops) add a challenging amount of new waste streams. These same challenges can be experienced in industrial and agricultural lagoons as they age and continue to experience increasing sludge levels. Louisiana Pond Management can help by providing upgraded aeration systems, providing additives to help process and reduce sludge.

Vegetation growth can become a problem in wastewater lagoons. Birds and turtles frequent these ponds and can infest them easily with nuisance species that may interfere with waste processing and the function of the lagoon or wastewater system. These same plants if not controlled, or controlled correctly, can interfere with compliance. Louisiana Pond Management can properly identify and develop a plan to control them effectively while keeping your system in compliance. We are licensed and insured aquatic pesticide applicators. 

Louisiana Pond Management offers high quality aeration equipment for your lagoon or waste water treatment plant that can be installed without shutting down or a major upgrade and the associated capital investment. These smaller modular upgrades are easier to install and maintain without disruption. We are aeration experts and have over 37 years collective experience.
