Aerated ponds play a crucial role in biodegradation by supplying oxygen to maintain an efficient process. Insufficient aeration leads to increased production of nitrous oxide (N₂O) and methane (CH₄), which are potent greenhouse gases. At the same time, over-airing can result in inefficient energy consumption and negatively affect the decomposition process.
Our system is designed to analyse important gases in ponds, including:
- N₂O: To monitor and minimise the production of nitrous oxide.
- CH₄: To monitor methane production and ensure optimal biological activity.
- O₂: To ensure a slight excess of oxygen for a balanced process.
- CO₂: To monitor the final product of biodegradation.
With built-in sensors for pH and conductivity, the system offers a complete solution for analysing both gases and water quality. The system's robust enclosure ensures reliable operation even in harsh outdoor environments near the ponds, where high tightness and durability over time are crucial.
