Kinross Egg Farm is a family owned business that has been producing high quality googies for over 40 years! They called us when they noticed settling and foaming in their tanks as well as discolouration in their lagoon water…all topped off with a BAD SMELL!
Our diagnosis? Elevated levels of ammonia and filamentous bacteria that occurred during the cooler months.
The first port of call was installing an aeration system for the the tank to knock down ammonia levels. A second aeration system was put into the lagoon to degrade the BOD and reduce the population of odour producing anaerobic bacteria.
