Tailings or
Holding Ponds
Adding Inflow Ech Day
If you added 1,411,810 gallons per day to a 10 acre pond, by the end of one year you would need the pond to grow to over 306 acres maintaining 5 ft
Year 2, add another 306 acres, now you have over 600 acres of waste water
Tailings or Holding Pond Issues:
-
Lined ponds now required, high cost per acre to install.
-
Inflow higher than pond evaporation requires adding more pond
-
Unusually wet years result in lack of freeboard & potential fines
-
Bird kills due to contamination in the pond now attracts large public attention and gives tarnished corporate image.
-
Liability attached to contamination from leaching over long life of a pond, which often remains 20+ years due to winter runoff, long after the project is closed.

Turbomist Enhanced
Evaporation Systems
Adding inflow each day, in the same amount but with enhanced evaporation
If you added 1,411,810 gallons per day* to the pond using Turbomist evaporators, by the end of the year, this 10 acre pond would still be 10 acres in size, in fact: as long as you run our enhanced evaporation equipment, the pond will continue to be the same size until the inflow of 1,411,810 stops, then it would be empty in under 12 days. Project complete… Liability gone
*As many as 34 units can operate on a 10 acre pond
Turbomist Enhanced Evaporation is Superior Because:
-
On average EES results in over 30 times more evaporation than a pond without enhancement.
-
Inflow increases? Maintain pond size, add evaporators.
-
Leaching cannot occur because the system requires a double lined pond and the waste is eliminated quickly, usually in the same season.
-
Pond construction is COST EFFECTIVE; a one acre pond is equivalent to a 30 acre upon without the Turbomist Enhanced Evaporation system.
-
GOOD PUBLIC IMAGE Using technology such as wind speed sensors, containment fencing and bird balls to eliminate bird kills, and contain pollution due to drift.
-
ALLOWS PLANNED CLOSURE soon after project completion which greatly reduce liability
