The Selective
Circulator™ is improving conditions on dairy farms, feedlots, major
municipalities and on golf courses across the continent. The Selective
Circulator™ tackles the toughest, contaminated lagoons and drastically reduces
or eliminates odor, solids, mosquitoes, pathogens and harmful gases.
Due to its innovative shape and design, each Selective Circulator™ can move
over five hundred thousand gallons of water to the surface of a lagoon in a
twenty four hour period. The Selective Circulator™ cleanses the lagoon from top
to bottom and fosters the beneficial microbes that keep your pond in a healthy,
aerobic state, and mosquito free year round.
How Does It Work? The patent pending Selective Circulator™ is able to circulate
massive amounts of anaerobic liquid to the surface of a lagoon, exposing it to
oxygen and creating an aerobic environment.
Harmful gases, when released into the air, create putrid odors. Anaerobic water
is a breeding ground for pathogens, which cause health problems for both
animals and people. The by-products of aerobic liquid are water and carbon
dioxide, which is a harmless, odorless gas. This makes aerobic water ideal,
especially if it is to be recycled.
The Selective Circulator™ creates a powerful vortex that allows water and
solids from the bottom to reach the lagoon's surface. Once the solids reach the
top, they are broken down by powerful aerobic microbes. The Selective
Circulator™ operates off a simple three horsepower, energy efficient motor on
110 amps. The housing is made of rotationally molded plastic and stainless
steel. It is UV protected and built to last with very little maintenance. The
Selective Aerator/Circulator teams up with Mother Nature to create clean, safe
and odorless liquid.
That's intense biological action at its best. Many of us are not
microbiologists. We can, however, establish a simple truth: Most operators want
to grow healthier crops. Many operators use lagoon water on their crops. Let's
examine the results of anaerobic water in this capacity.
ANAEROBIC LIQUIDS: Anaerobic liquids are loaded with ammonia and hydrogen
sulfide. Along with methane, these are the gases that create the putrid odor
you smell coming from anaerobic lagoons. Oxygen is indicative of life.
Anaerobic substances are devoid of oxygen.
Now imagine an operator using that liquid on his crops. One way would be
through a pivot. Once it hits the ground, the main component of anaerobic decomposition
is alcohol. The root systems of plants have a sensitivity to alcohol of up to 1
part per million.
The concentration of alcohol in anaerobic liquid is somewhere between 15 to 25
parts per million. If that concentration of alcohol makes it to the plant's
root system, the plant will burn and die. The land will seal and block vital
oxygen from entering the soil. Now, let's consider aerobic liquid.
AEROBIC LIQUIDS: It is important when dealing with soil to establish a good,
healthy structure. One way to do this is to put nutrients into the ground that
feed the bacteria and fungi in the soil. Soil retains nutrients because of the
Carbon (C) to Nitrogen (N) ratio of organisms.
Bacteria have the most concentrated amount of N in comparison to anything else
on earth. Therefore, bacteria will not release N into the soil. They are like
little suck-up machines with a C to N ratio of 5 to 1. So, they will take
nitrates and pull them inside their bodies and immobilize them as protein.
When organic N is tied up in good aerobic bacteria, it will not burn or damage
plants, but will enhance plant growth. The aerobic water provided by the
Aerator/Circulator will improve soil structure, aid disease suppression and
most importantly, eliminate odor!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What makes the
Aerator/Circulator different from other aeration circulators?
A:There
are several qualities that separate the Selective Aerator/Circulator from other
circulators on the market. The patent pending shape of the Aerator/Circulator
aids in coaxing water from the bottom to the surface. The Selective Circulator™
creates a vortex rather than just splashing the surface. The high efficiency
propeller adds to the effect along with the three horsepower motor, making the
Selective Circulator™ even more powerful. The Selective Circulator™ is built
tough and built to last and is appropriate for any pond or lagoon.
Q: What can it do
for my contaminated lagoon or settling pond?
A:The
Selective Circulator™ can tackle the toughest algae, organic sludge and odor
problems in any lagoon or pond, keeping them mosquito free, clear and odorless.
Q: How many
Selective Circulators™ do you need per pond?
A:One
per half square acre is generally sufficient, approx. 100’ x 100’. 10,000
sq.ft. .
Q: How deep of a
lagoon will it handle?
A:The Selective Circulator™ will easily move solids in deep
water to 80’ and is appropriate for depth range starting from 5 feet.
Q: Can I leave the
Selective Circulator™ in my pond year round?
A:There
is no reason to take the Selective Circulator™ out of your lagoon due to
weather. The Selective Aerator/Circulator is powerful enough to withstand harsh
weather conditions.
Q: How long before I
see results?
A:The
Selective Aerator/Circulator will make a significant difference in your lake,
pond, or lagoon in the first 7 to 14 days.
