Featured product: Lagoon baffles
------------------------------------------------------

We're reaching the time of year when many lagoons go through a period of 
temperature inversion, as water that's been sitting on top of the lagoon 
cools and sinks to the bottom of the lagoon.  The inversion can reveal 
the presence of dead zones in the lagoon which need treatment, 
especially if aeration is being added.

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.
