An effective effluent pond treatment for mid to long term retention times
POND ISSUES
- CRUSTING
- ODOUR
- SLUDGE
- POOR QUALITY EFFLUENT
- NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON
SPRAYED PASTURE
Overloaded Ponds
Many ponds function poorly. They are anaerobic, overloaded and cannot cope with incoming effluent.
Why you should care
Excessive sludge requires constant, costly de-sludging.
The Pond can crust over, with a high level of suspended solids, drastically reducing pump out volume.
Bad odours emanating from the pond and when spraying.
Long delay before animals can feed on sprayed pasture.
Degraded soil quality, resulting in reduced pasture growth and nutritional value.

WHAT FARMERS ARE SAYING
Odour is no longer
a problem and even the
cows notice the difference.
Marcel Korsten, Dairy Farmer (New Zealand)
Dairy News, 2019
...it took a couple of months
but the crust and stench
were both gone.
...the cows start eating pasture within two or three days [After spraying with Impact-dosed effluent]
