1) How often will my company need to add microbes and nutrients?

ESM covers all nutrients and cultures for your system during establishment. Once the organisms are fully established, ESM has a subscription service that covers all maintenance. Please contact us to discuss specifics.

2) Does H.E.A.T. work in the winter?

Yes.

+

3) Is Aeration necessary or beneficial?

Beneficial, but absolutely not needed.

4) What is your process?

We are a custom system, please contact us for more information.

5) What O&M is performed? Frequency of O&M? Cost per O&M event?

Once H.E.A.T. is established in a lagoon ESM provides lower cost O&M subscription services customized to keep your system running optimally. We are happy to discuss your specific application please contact us here.

6) Is there a minimum brine volume to begin adding microbes?

No. We can easily work with any size lagoon or any volume. .

+

7) What equipment do we need? What is the cost of equipment?

A forklift to transport totes from receiving to the edge of the lagoon. H.E.A.T. has no mechanical components, so you don’t have operational complexity or need skilled labor.

8) Does the salinity really impact my evaporation rate?

Yes without enhancement, evaporation decreases about 2% (or more) for every 1% increase in salt concentration. So at 30% salt concentration (300,000 ppm) you have lost 60% of your local evaporation rate. H.E.A.T. will bring that rate back to equal or exceed your local rates.

9) Can we re-use the salt?

This is too generalized for a direct answer. Please Contact Us to discuss your special case.
