Floating Baffle Systems
Floating baffles help facilitate surface control of floating materials
|
Floating Baffles are flow control devices which increase the retention time in water treatment lagoons. Increased retention time creates a larger active area improving efficiency and reducing the Total Suspended Solids (TSS). This improves overall water quality and assists in industry compliance with state and federal regulations for discharge and treatment of industrial wastewater. In addition to increased retention time you also can eliminate short-circuiting or channeling when creating side-to-side or flow patterns using floating baffles. Baffles can be easily relocated within a lagoon as needs or conditions change. Flow-thru windows can be added, relocated or modified for any flow variation, helping control flow and circulation, eliminate dead zones, and improve efficiency. |
Baffles can be easily relocated within a lagoon as needed or conditions change. Flow-thru windows can be added, relocated or modified for any flow variation, helping control flow and circulation, eliminate dead zones, and improve efficiency. Floating baffles are manufactured from a variety of flexible thermoplastic coated (not laminated) reinforced fabrics. The fabrics are dielectrically sealed to form enclosures for the flotation logs, chain ballast and optional cable tension members. These items are connected with the floatation logs at the surface and the chain at the lagoon bottom. Tension cable(s) are sometimes included in our floating baffles to provide added strength and eliminate arcing.
Custom-manufactured floating baffles offer an easy, flexible, economical way to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of lagoons. Floating baffles help facilitate surface control of floating materials in cooling ponds, settling basins or oxidation ponds.
