Pond and Field
Sprinkler systems
Benefits: Cost per gallon will depend upon available land and ponds may be inexpensive or very expensive, depending upon the current value of the land used.
Disadvantages of pond sprinkler systems:
- Pond sprinkler system designed to evaporate water contained within a pond has proven to have a very low efficiency of 4%, that is, for the volume of water pumped; only 4% evaporates. Because of this, you need to keep expanding ponds as production grows.
- High onsite maintenance due to plugging in waste that is prone to scaling
Disadvantages of Field Sprinkler systems:
- Waste spread over land with high potential of leaching into the ground water.
- High potential risk of leaching waste into the water table resulting in potential for liability
- High cost of land as this system requires considerable acreage to eliminate large volumes
- High maintenance of system and resulting crop
- Irrigation may create odor issues for neighbors

Turbomist Enhanced
Evaporation Systems
Benefits of enhanced evaporation
- Is the most environmentally friendly option available and has the lowest potential for liability-enhancing nature
- More efficient evaporation. On average 9 times more efficient than sprinklers, expansion occurs by adding additional Turbomist evaporators on the same pond.
- System provides for scaling, an issue with sprinklers handled by the Turbomist EES
- Leaching cannot occur because system requires a double lined pond to contain any waste.
- Can handle even highly corrosive, high TDS and even waste high in salinity without contaminating the area.
- Cost effective, as little as one acre needed to eliminate over 12 million gallons of waste annually and 4 acres on average would eliminate in excess of 50 million gallons annually ! Small footprint important at cost per acre of liner.
- Eliminates potential for liability - waste is gone at the end of the day
