Lagoon and Reservoir Water Treatment Using Chemical-Free Nano Bubble Technology

PMnB delivers advanced reservoir and lagoon treatment solutions that restore water quality, control algae growth, and reduce odors. By delivering oxidation and oxygenation directly within the water body, PMnB improves dissolved oxygen levels and re-establishes stable aerobic conditions. This supports more reliable upstream water quality while reducing reliance on chemical dosing and manual intervention.

Why lagoons and reservoirs lose stability

Lagoons and open water reservoirs have an open, large area and volume that makes algae growth and consistent oxygen control and biological stability difficult to maintain.

Lagoon algae blooms and biofilm growth in surface water
Low dissolved oxygen, leading to anaerobic conditions
Odors caused by sulfides, ammonia and carbon dioxide accumulation
Inconsistent water quality affecting downstream treatment
Difficulty maintaining stable aerobic bacteria populations in facultative lagoons

How PMnB stabilizes lagoon and reservoirs

PMnB deploys stable nano bubbles to deliver dissolved gases such as ozone, oxygen, and air efficiently throughout large-volume water bodies. Because nano bubbles remain suspended rather than rapidly rising to the surface, they provide sustained gas transfer across the entire water column. This improves dissolved oxygen levels, enhances biological oxidation, and supports healthy lagoon bacteria populations responsible for organic breakdown.

Applications across lagoon and reservoir systems

Wastewater lagoons

PMnB enhances biological activity in facultative and aerated lagoons and water bodies by improving oxygen transfer efficiency throughout the basin. Improved organic breakdown leads to reduced sludge volume accumulation over time.

Increased dissolved oxygen across the entire lagoon
Stabilized aerobic bacteria populations
Lower mechanical aeration energy requirements

Drinking water reservoirs

Potable water reservoirs used as drinking water supplies or source water for a water treatment plant require stable surface water quality. PMnB enables better source quality upstream, improving overall treatment process efficacy.

Algae control without chemical residues
Reduction of odor-causing compounds
Improved oxidation prior to drinking water treatment
Reduced chemical demand

Recreational lakes

In public or environmentally sensitive surface water systems, chemical dosing can create regulatory and ecological challenges. Nanno bubbles offer a chemical-free route to oxygenation.

No compliance risk from harmful chemicals
Improved ecosystem balance through aerobic stabilization
Reduced environmental risk

How does PMnB improve dissolved oxygen in lagoons?

PMnB generates nano bubbles that remain suspended in water, allowing sustained oxygen transfer throughout the lagoon. This maintains stable dissolved oxygen levels and supports aerobic bacteria activity without excessive aeration energy.

Yes. PMnB is well suited for facultative lagoons where maintaining the balance between aerobic and anaerobic zones is critical. By increasing dissolved oxygen, PMnB helps prevent odor formation and stabilizes biological performance.

Absolutely. PMnB systems are scalable and can be deployed in lagoon wastewater treatment systems serving small communities, rural and tribal communities, and decentralized treatment facilities.

PMnB can replace, complement or reduce reliance on mechanical aeration. In some aerated lagoons, it significantly reduces energy demand while maintaining required dissolved oxygen levels.

Yes. By stabilizing source water in reservoirs and surface water bodies, PMnB improves oxidation conditions before water enters a water treatment plant, supporting more consistent drinking water treatment performance.

By supporting stable aerobic bacteria populations, the system reduces anaerobic conditions that generate sulfides and odors. Improved oxidation can also help limit excessive sludge volume accumulation over time by enhancing the breakdown of solids before they settle. In lagoons connected to activated sludge or other downstream treatment facilities, more stable upstream conditions support more consistent overall treatment performance.

Improved breakdown of organic materials supports better BOD and COD reduction prior to discharge, tertiary filtration, or reuse. Whether integrated into primary treatment lagoons, polishing reservoirs, or tertiary processes, PMnB strengthens compliance with discharge and reuse standards without adding chemical dosing infrastructure.
