Custom Aeration Water Treatment Systems
The Mustang Containment Subsurface Aeration and Chemical Injection Water Treatment Systems are custom designed to meet the water quality demands for oilfield produced water storage applications and have been used extensively throughout multiple oilfield basins. Our cost-effective, low maintenance aeration water treatment systems can be installed in any storage application including tanks, above ground storage tanks, or ponds. Every component of the system is manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant materials allowing our system to be virtually maintenance free. All parts and labor are warrantied for 12 months and carry the Mustang Containment quality guarantee.
Safety and Monitoring:
- Set up includes three different emergency shutdowns
- Treatment adjusts automatically based on oxidation reduction potential
- Detailed analytics from independent laboratory
- System tracks output real-time data
- Requires a single operation
- Field testing available
Subsurface Aeration – How It Works
Subsurface aeration introduces atmospheric air to the floor of the storage unit which increases the dissolved oxygen (DO) through absorption as the micro-bubbles travel to the surface of the water. This process displaces the water with an air column which in turn creates a continuous loop of circulation. By placing our diffuser assemblies in specific locations, we can create a network of interlocking loops, ensuring zero zones of stagnation. As oxygen levels rise dissolved gasses, such as Hydrogen Sulfide, alter molecularly and expel atmosphere. The continuous circulation of water prevents stratification of layers and helps maintain an even, cooler temperature of your pond which reduces the growth of bacteria.
Benefits of Subsurface Aeration:
- Decreases chemical usage downstream (oxidizers)
- Prevention of a septic pond due to bacteria growth
- Reduction in harmful bacteria which thrives in low oxygenated water
- Eradicates and prevents dangerous levels of Hydrogen Sulfide
- Increases DO which acts as a mild oxidizer that helps reduce bacteria and sulfides
- Creates an oxygen rich environment to control sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB)
- Provides complete de-stratification of water layers
- Creates continuous circulation of water
- Creates even temperature and chemistry across all depths of water
- Reduces suspended solids
- Reduces dissolved gasses
- Reduces heavy metals
- Removes and prevents odors

Increase Efficiency by Combining Subsurface Aeration with Chemical Injection
Chlorine Dioxide, Sodium Hypochlorite, Hydrogen Peroxide, or long-term biocides can be injected along with aeration for even chemical distribution throughout the pond.
- The turbulent nature of aeration mixes the chemicals throughout the pond through rapid displacement of pond fluids
- Allows for maximum contact time and chemical reaction to ensure full circulation and killing of bacteria
- Installed sensors capture real-time pond conditions data using a remote monitoring system, such as Mustang Containment’s M.E.G.A. System, eliminating uncertainty during treatment
