AMG Ltd Consultants are committed to the provision of design, consultancy and project management services in support of water based environmental projects. Within our Consultancy Division we are able to provide skilled and experienced personnel proficient in the design, specification and management of such projects. Various types of technical computer software are used and a 2D computer generated drawing service is also available.

We are able to provide professional assistance on the water quality of the reservoir or lake and can offer solutions to improve the water quality, whether it is used for amenity or drinking water purposes.

When the reservoir thermally stratifies during the summer months, it can present the following problems:

• Nitrogen/Phosphate locked in the bed sediment becomes readily soluble; this increases the risk of Eutrophication and the occurrence of unsightly algal blooms.
• Heavy metals in particular Manganese and Iron also becomes soluble, which can cause significantly increased, financial expenditure during the water treatment process.

By aerating and mixing the de-oxygenated bottom waters it may be possible to prevent these two problems occurring. AMG Ltd is working closely with Imperial College of London and Glamorgan University, on various MSc and PHD projects to develop our understanding and knowledge about the behaviour of large water bodies.
AMG Ltd and Marine Harvest (Scotland) Ltd have undertaken some R & D with regard to “AQUAERATION” and Aquaculture, specifically with regards to commercial fish farming.

We are also investigating modifying the “AQUAERATOR” to treat Industrial and Domestic Wastewater.
