About the Solution:

Triplepoint’s Ares Aerator® combines fine-bubble oxygenation and robust mixing in one portable system—helping lagoons do it better with proven energy efficiency and reliable performance.

The Ares Lagoon Aerator combines aeration efficiency with impressive mixing capability in one portable unit. Independent testing conducted under ASCE Oxygen Transfer Efficiency conditions demonstrates SOTE of up to 2.4 percent per foot of submergence or 4–7 lb/O2 per horsepower hour. This translates to energy savings of up to 60 percent over standard lagoon aeration equipment.

Moreover, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modeling demonstrates pumpage of 7,800 gallons per minute, leading to better treatment and lower sludge levels on the bottom of your lagoon. Ares’ innovative high negative buoyancy ballast is lighter out of the water to make installation and maintenance easier.

Solution Strengths, Weaknesses and Critical Indicators

Aeration:

  • Primarily applicable for flush system followed by primary solids separation and within a region that has concerns regarding local odor emissions from long-term storage lagoons.
  • Capital costs for the mechanical surface aerators and their platforms/electrical connections are moderate.
  • Operating costs, even with limited aeration can be high due to high utility costs for continuous operation of energy intensive aerators.
  • Well-researched, understood and engineered system with multiple vendor platforms available across industries, including manure treatment.
  • Several types of aerators are available in the market that are suited for dairy operations.
  • Specification requirements of aeration equipment and its installation depend on farm size, manure characteristics, and odor mitigation goals of that dairy farm.
