With so many communities being instructed to upgrade their 
wastewater-treatment systems, we're receiving lots of inquiries about 
ways to convert existing facultative lagoons into higher-capacity 
systems.  One highly effective method is to use a combination of lagoon 
baffle curtains and retrievable lagoon aeration systems to create a 
long, serpentine flow pattern within the lagoon that forces the water to 
pass through several aeration zones along the way. By creating an 
intentional flow pattern with the baffles, we're able to reduce the 
impact of dead zones within the lagoon while simultaneously cutting down 
on the amount of aeration equipment required to make the system work.
