tech talk 101 lake destratification system evaluation over the last 28 years at aes we have seen a lot of lake aeration companies come and go one thing they had in common was that they all exaggerated their performance it is no different today we see others with superior claims who have not measured or don t know how to measure their performance it s not easy but the following is the background you will need to evaluate manufacturers claims lakes have a very low bod to volume ratio as opposed to aquaculture or waste water this difference makes the standard aeration techniques ineffective or impractical realizing this problem early on we developed the air-driven unconfined destratification technique which is very efficient at moving bottom water to the surface the goal of our technique is to move enough water to keep the lake bottom above 5 mg/l dissolved oxygen in keeping with the us clean water act of 1972 during our research and development we naturally began with a draft tube becau

tech talk 118 calculation of pond and tank volume determining the volume of your pond or tank accurately can be critical for many reasons including sizing of pumps piping filters etc when calculating stocking rates and for correct chemical dosages volume is calculated by multiplying surface area times depth some geometric shapes are simple to calculate e.g squares rectangles and circles unfortunately many ponds are free form in shape and/or have variable depths their volume can be estimated by dividing the pond surface into simple geometric shapes calculating the volume of each section based on depth and adding all sections be sure to include the water in filters piping waterfalls etc the following tables present equations that are used to calculate the area and volume of various geometric shapes shape area calculation circle r 2 ellipse r 1r 2 rectangle lw 1/2 ab right triangle 1/2 hc general triangle 1/2 ns 2 cot 180/n regular polygon shape volume calculation cube abc 1/3 abh pyram
