Nutrients, Algae, Fe &Mn, Taste & Odor. Iron & Manganese: Maintaining aerobic conditions above the sediment will suppress the release of iron and manganese, having a direct effect on drinking water quality. Aerobic conditions also prevent the formation of H2S and the release of phosphorous back into the water column, reducing the internal nutrient load and its fertilizing effect on algae growth. Experience from a 20 year long operation of a Speece Cone in a reservoir has shown the reversal from a eutrophic lake to an almost oligotrophic state. Reducing algae blooms also reduce the total organic carbon (TOC) load, a pre-cursor to disinfection byproducts (DBPs).

Harnessing Carbon Dioxide for Precise pH Regulation. Lime softening processes for drinking water include a step for pH adjustment, after settling. Gaseous Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a simple and affordable alternative to acid, but it is often used inefficiently – wasting CO2 gas, requiring too much energy, or the need to use finished water for the carrier stream.
