ONSITE Lagoon Support
ONSITE Lagoon Support Proven to Reduce Sludge and Eliminate Odor
The Clearbrooke ONSITE Program provides regular onsite support, customized treatment plans, operator support, and proven enzyme-based products to help municipalities improve lagoon performance and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
0 Odor Complaints
reported two years after treatment began (previously averaging 6 annually)
25% Sludge Reduction
in the first year of treatment
Improved effluent DO
From 7.1 to 9.9 mg/L
Observed in a third-party Northern Michigan lagoon field study
Results shown include findings from a third-party field evaluation conducted at a Northern Michigan wastewater lagoon, where measurable improvements in dissolved oxygen, ORP, sludge reduction, and odor control were documented.
WHAT IS THE ONSITE PROGRAM?
The Clearbrooke ONSITE Program is a hands-on wastewater lagoon support program designed for municipalities throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
Unlike the SMART Program — which provides annual onsite support for lagoons nationwide — the ONSITE Program includes regular onsite support visits, allowing our team to work directly with operators to monitor lagoon conditions, replenish treatment products, optimize treatment performance, and address concerns proactively throughout the year.
The ONSITE Program combines:
- Regular onsite support visits
- Customized lagoon treatment plans
- Clearbrooke enzyme-based treatment products
- Equipment setup assistance
- Operator training and support resources
- Annual reporting and recommendations
- Sludge judge every three years
- Ongoing phone and technical support
to help municipalities improve lagoon performance, reduce sludge accumulation, eliminate odor issues, and lower long-term maintenance costs.
Why Dissolved Oxygen Matters
Higher dissolved oxygen levels help support the biological processes that wastewater lagoons depend on for treatment. Improved DO can contribute to better lagoon performance, healthier biological activity, reduced odors, and more stable operation throughout the year.

Improved Lagoon Conditions
Third-Party Field Study Results:
- -Influent DO: 2.4 to 7.5 mg/L
- -Influent ORP: -123.9 to +28.0 mV
- -Effluent DO: 7.1 to 9.9 mg/L
Clearbrooke Products
Backed by Proven Results
Clearbrooke’s proprietary enzyme-based lagoon treatment products have been trusted by municipalities for more than twenty years.
Our eco-friendly formulations are designed to:
- -Reduce sludge accumulation
- -Eliminate lagoon odors
- -Improve lagoon performance
- -Reduce maintenance demands
- -Support long-term lagoon health
- -Improve DO
The effectiveness of our products was independently evaluated through a two-year third-party field study conducted at a Northern Michigan wastewater lagoon. The study documented measurable improvements in dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and overall lagoon conditions following treatment.
