Lagun'air VIII range
Reducing odor nuisance from process water
The Lagun’Air VIII range, developed by BIOTHYS™, is a powerful neutralizer designed to treat waste water and effectively eliminate olfactory nuisances.
It features innovative hydrophobic components that act directly on the surface of ponds or lagoons.
Specially indicated for the treatment and abatement of unpleasant odors from process water treatment and storage lagoons.
Its unique formulation makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial wastewater applications.
Thanks to its unique properties and efficient application method, guarantees a significant reduction in odors, improving environmental quality in industrial facilities.

Features & Performance
- High Neutralization: The components react effectively with malodorous molecules emitted by pond water, ensuring fast, effective neutralization.
- Highly reactive: Rapidly reacts with various odoriferous substances present on the surface of ponds, such as sulfur derivatives and volatile fatty acids.
- Insolubility in water: Remains on the surface of water for long-lasting action.
- Density Less Than Water: Ensures an even distribution on the surface of ponds for maximum efficiency.
- Immediate neutralization: The active ingredients evaporate slowly, coming into contact with the malodorous molecules as soon as they appear, ensuring almost immediate abatement of the nuisance.
- Environmental compatibility: Does not interfere with gas exchange or biological processes, and inhibits foam formation on the water surface.
- High biodegradability: Composed of a complex of natural and synthetic essences and oils, with high biodegradability for the active ingredients and the hydrophobic blend.
- Long-lasting action: Hydrophobic active ingredients ensure long-lasting effectiveness thanks to their controlled volatility.
Micellogenic Dispersion Mode

Products in the LAGUN’AIR VIII range are diffused onto the water surface, where their droplets burst into hydrophobic micelles, spreading rapidly over the entire surface of the lagoon or pond.
This mode of dispersion, known as “micellogenesis”, offers a large surface area for exchange between the inhibitor complexes and the malodorous gaseous phase.
The active ingredients evaporate slowly and come into contact with the odorous substances, neutralizing odors as soon as they are released.
This continuous action ensures an almost instantaneous reduction in odour nuisance.
Operation and efficiency
Products in the Lagun’Air VIII range are composed of a blend of hydrophobic active ingredients applied to the surface of wastewater using special BIOTHYS™ equipment and nozzles.
Once applied, they form hydrophobic micelles that spread rapidly due to the mixture’s low surface tension.
These micelles effectively cover the water surface, creating a treatment barrier.
The active ingredients evaporate slowly and come into contact with the odorous substances, neutralizing odors as soon as they are released.
This continuous action ensures an almost instantaneous reduction in odour nuisance.
Customization and adaptability

To meet the specific needs of each situation, specific formulations are available or can be custom-developed.
The choice of the ideal product is determined by a pre-qualification study or on-site assessment, guaranteeing a solution perfectly adapted to the olfactory challenges encountered.
Application area
Products in the Lagun’Air VIII range are specially formulated to treat odor nuisance in various areas where wastewater is present.
Here are a few tips to optimize its use:
1. Wastewater retention basin :
Application: on the water surface in retention basins to neutralize odors before water treatment or recycling.
2. Water treatment lagoons :
Application: on large surfaces of lagoons to treat odorous fumes resulting from the decomposition of organic matter.
3. Wastewater treatment plants :
Application: in the various basins and tanks of treatment plants to control odors throughout the treatment process.
4. Industrial plants :
Application: in process water storage basins in industries such as sugar mills, canneries and distilleries.
5. Landfills and waste treatment centers :
Application: on leachate ponds and residual water storage areas to reduce odour nuisance from decomposing waste.
6. Urban water treatment :
Application: in municipal sewage lagoons to treat urban wastewater and reduce odors in neighboring residential areas.
Implementation

For optimum effectiveness, use LAGUN’AIR VIII undiluted with LAGUN’AIR devices from Bio-thys™, which diffuse the active agents onto the water surface.
Precise application is necessary to manage specific olfactory pollution.
Daily consumption varies according to the intensity of the nuisance, local atmospheric conditions and the orientation of the areas to be protected.
