Lagoons are pond-like water bodies that hold wastewater collected from industrial, commercial and residential areas. The lagoons start collecting bio-solids and tons of sand, grit, dirt, and muck over time and its natural working capacity falls. The ammonia levels in the area increase, hydraulic retention time falls and harmful pathogens start collecting in the lagoon. The odour becomes unbearable and the sludge has to be removed so that the natural environment and biosphere is not threatened.

A limited quantity of sludge is acceptable and desired because it is a storehouse of microbes that feed on solid influent constituents and plastics. The microbes carry out anaerobic digestion but with excessive sludge deposits the natural process is disturbed and becomes sluggish thus timely treatment and cleaning of wastewater is imperative.

The build-up of heavy metals, biological floc, sand, debris, solids, dirt, sand, inorganic substances, nutrients makes the water of the lagoon very slushy and threatens the aquatic life in the water. This sludge accumulates and after a few years this muck settlement disturbs the working of the lagoon and it has to be removed and disposed appropriately with the expert suggestions of a Lagoon Sludge Removal Contractor.

The wastewater in the lagoon is reusable and can be used for irrigation purposes but it has to be cleaned and treated with physical, chemical, aeration and biological means so that it can be reused and sent back into the natural habitat. But this process is spread out over many years and a constant measurement of the sludge is imperative to make a decision regarding the removal. This can be organised easily with the expert input of alagoon sludge removal contractor.

For an ordinary man the muddy and cloudy look of the lagoon water is an indication that the sludge is building up but for a contractor the decision is made after proper sludge measurements are done. If the sludge is left untreated, there can be dangerous build-up of BOD, TSS and ammonia levels. The dirty wastewater cannot leak into the surrounding ground area and for this clay lining of the lagoon may be done.

A sample of the lagoon sludge is taken and it is assessed for nutrients and metal content so that a proper waste water disposal method is undertaken. The cleaning and treatment of the lagoon sludge is organised because lagoons are the best method to carry out wastewater treatment. The equipment used for the wastewater disposal and treatment services is technologically advanced and superior quality!

Sludge removal and dewatering needs skilled labour and proper strategic planning before it is scheduled. The project is carried out under the keen eye of the contractor and is commenced step by step. The process includes removal of sludge, its treatment and separation of water and solids keeping the environment preservation and safety standards, State regulations and legal limitations in mind. The sludge removal is carried out and the solids and water are kept aside for future use.
