Water mixing is a proven technique for ameliorating the development of blue-green algae blooms.

How Does it Work?

It increases dissolved oxygen concentrations in the lower water column helping with reducing internal nutrient loadings.

The system mixes the algae down to depth on deeper lakes where they become light limited. A similar effect may be achieved on a shallower lake through combining mixing with the use of lake dye.

A vigorous mixing regime disrupts the development of a bloom which favour still and stagnant water conditions.

Combating Thermal Stratification

While summer is a busy season for many businesses, thermal stratification can create serious water quality issues that disrupt operations.

Water mixing supports distribution of oxygen throughout the water column, preventing anoxic conditions in the hypolimnion.

Thermal Stratification

Thermal stratification is the phenomenon where distinct layers form in a waterbody due to differences in temperature and can negatively affect water quality.

ISS Flowthrough Projects

ISS Flowthrough aeration, mixing and bubble barrier systems have been installed in various waterbodies across the world. From the Uk and Netherlands to USA

Blue Green Algae

Blue green algae is common in the summer months and favours warm, stagnant water and eutrophic conditions. These algal blooms can be harmful if ingested.

2. Site Survey

A bathymetric survey is performed to understand the exact conditions of the waterbody. This survey is carried out by one of our water aeration and waterway management specialists and will help us ensure that the system we design for you works to meet your needs.

3. Design and Engineer

When all the required information has been gathered, our design and engineering team will proceed with manufacturing your bespoke aeration system to specification.

4. System Install

The finalised ISS Flowthrough aeration system will be installed on-site by our installation team, who have extensive experience in deploying aeration systems in various waterways

5. Ongoing Support

Good news! Once Your system has been installed and is fully operational – our specialist maintenance team will be on hand to ensure that the system continues to operate at optimal efficiency.
