Every water-based application or industry has its own set of complexities that can impact water quality, water health, water management, remediation and selection of treatment solutions. The EMF series of devices are designed and individually tailored to target specific applications which can tackle many of their concerns.
This series of devices are designed specifically for applications where a waterbody suffers from low oxygen concentrations. This underlying low oxygen concentration promotes anaerobic conditions and processes which can then start a cycle of eutrophication and create unhealthy waterbodies. Conventional solutions typically add oxygen to waterbodies but are generally very expensive, complex, require specific infrastructure and expertise. The EMF device is a turnkey, innovative, simple, chemical-free and mechanical-free solution.
Once in the water and activated, specifically programmed electromagnetic signals influence certain physicochemical properties of the waterbody which impact viscosity and increase the rate of gas exchange across the air-water boundary by approximately 2-times. This enables oxygen to diffuse into the water faster if the demand for oxygen exists. As the concentration of oxygen in the waterbody increases, it shifts the equilibrium from anaerobic to more aerobic conditions. Improved aerobic environments and processes can promote a healthier waterbody and overall ecosystem while preventing conditions that lead to eutrophication. The impact of treatment is unique to each waterbody depending on pre-existing site conditions. A single unit is effective up-to an area of 20 hectares (50 acres).

Waterbodies with large solar panels installed to harness clean energy from the sun. Much of the waterbody’s surface is covered and blocked from the sun. This solar shading and surface flow restrictions will hinder photosynthesis and restrict necessary water movement that captures oxygen from the air. Adding a large mechanical mixer to increase oxygen transfer may also be difficult at such locations. Our device can be fitted easily and improve the overall dissolved oxygen concentration.

Increase in-situ sludge digestion and reduce dredging requirements
Prevent mass fish kills
Restore ecological balance
Reduce conditions that promote eutrophication
Reduce Greenhouse gas emissions
Many industrial applications have an influent and effluent water stream which impact both upstream and downstream processes. In the absence of contaminations by heavy metals, volatile toxic chemicals and refractory chemicals, improving the oxygen concentration of the influent water could optimize downstream processes by improving process functions/flow, reducing energy requirements, reducing maintenance, reducing greenhouse gases and reducing OPEX and CAPEX costs. Treating the effluent water ensures regulatory compliance and may make room for beneficial reuse of the remediated water.
