Kenosha Beef International
In 2007, Kenosha Beef International, Ltd installed two Webitat modules in their existing lagoon. They needed to achieve cold weather nitrification to below 1 mg/l before discharge in the winter when the temperature is as low as 33º F. The flow rate is about 75,000 GPD and is the main flow in the nearby stream in the winter; flow then continues to the Des Plaines River.
The Webitat modules were placed near the influent to the basin, and provide much needed aeration and mixing, as well as adding substantial biomass to the lagoons. The Webitat modules were installed with an integral aeration system. The Webitat baffles set up an air lift mixing pattern, enhancing mixing in the lagoon.
