Floating Island International offers four standardized RAM models, to tackle different challenges and environments. ALL of these models will reduce methane as well as provide additional environmental benefits.
- RAM S – aeration and mixing for shallow waters less than 10 feet deep (solar-powered
available) - RAM D – targeted benthic aeration for deep waters
- RAM SL – removes the “syrup” from the top layer of sludge
- RAM SE – removes the sludge itself and can be dredged for precious or rare earth
metals
RAM S: Shallow Water Bodies
RAM S is designed to improve water quality in shallow lakes, ponds, and slow-moving water bodies. It helps communities restore water that has been impacted by nutrient pollution, algae growth, and poor circulation.
Common Problems It Solves
Unpleasant odors from stagnant or polluted water
Harmful algae blooms that damage ecosystems
Fish kills caused by poor oxygen levels
Mosquito breeding in stagnant water
Water body closures due to safety concerns
Methane emissions created by decaying organic matter
Limited access to reliable power for treatment systems
Public complaints and negative environmental impact
Why It Matters:
RAM S helps restore healthier water conditions while reducing odors, improving water clarity, and supporting aquatic life. By improving circulation and reducing nutrient impacts, it can help communities avoid costly remediation efforts.
Ideal for:
Water less than 8 feet deep
Wastewater treatment ponds
Shallow lakes and ponds
Municipal stormwater ponds and water bodies
RAM D: Closed Flume System for Deeper Water
RAM D is designed for deeper lakes, reservoirs, and stormwater systems. It helps reduce nutrient pollution, control algae growth, and improve overall water health in larger water bodies.
Common Problems It Solves
- Harmful algae blooms that threaten water quality
- Persistent odors from nutrient pollution
- High costs associated with traditional dredging
- Fish kills caused by poor water conditions
- Chemical treatment side effects that harm ecosystems
- Methane emissions from organic buildup
- Limited or inconsistent access to power for treatment systems
- Public complaints related to water quality
Why It Matters:
RAM D improves deeper water systems without the disruption and expense of dredging or chemical treatments. The result is healthier ecosystems, improved water clarity, and better long-term water management.
Ideal for:
- Water 8 feet deep or greater
- Stormwater ponds and municipal lakes
- Lakes and reservoirs
- Private water bodies and community lakes
RAM SL: Sludge and Sediment Removal
RAM SL targets the buildup of sludge and organic sediment that collects at the bottom of ponds and treatment systems. Over time, this buildup reduces water capacity, worsens odors, and fuels algae growth.
Common Problems It Solves
Sludge buildup that reduces waterbody lifespan
Excess nutrients that fuel algae blooms
Poor water clarity and high turbidity
Strong odors from decaying organic material
Mosquito breeding in stagnant areas
Fish kills caused by oxygen depletion
High maintenance costs from traditional dredging
Methane emissions from decomposing sludge
Why It Matters
RAM SL helps extend the life of ponds and treatment systems by reducing sludge buildup and restoring healthier water conditions. It can significantly reduce maintenance costs while improving water quality and ecosystem balance.
Ideal for:
- Water bodies of any depth
- Wastewater treatment ponds
- Heavily nutrient-loaded or eutrophic waters
RAM SE: Sediment Capture and Resource Recovery
RAM SE captures and manages sediment in industrial and high-impact water environments. It is designed to reduce environmental disruption while improving resource recovery.
Common Problems It Solves
High costs associated with resource recovery
Sediment buildup in industrial water bodies
Environmental disruption from traditional dredging
High operation and maintenance costs
Limited access to reliable power
Lack of revenue from captured materials
Fish kills caused by poor water conditions
Why It Matters
RAM SE helps capture valuable sediment while improving water conditions and reducing environmental impact. This approach can transform costly environmental management into a more efficient and sustainable process.
Ideal for:
- Mining quarries and pit lakes
- Tailings ponds
- Superfund water bodies
- Acid mine drainage environments
