Optimizing Freshwater Quality through Advanced Oxygenation Techniques
An introduction to the fundamental concepts of oxygenation, including oxidation and redox processes, sediment oxygen demand, and water column oxygen demand. These processes are critical for understanding how oxygen levels influence water quality, such as organic sediment accumulation, iron levels, manganese management, algae blooms and foul odours.

Ray Menard, ACCWS
Ray Menard joined Smoky Trout Farm, the family aquaculture business in 2014 after 20 years in financial services and business banking. He has extensive experience in helping landowners and agriculture clients manage dugouts and ponds in Alberta into thriving fisheries with outstanding water quality. ACCWS grew from Smoky Trout in 2017. ACCWS serves municipal, industrial and agriculture clients across Canada with an emphasis on science-led solutions for fresh water and wastewater challenges.
Prior to joining the family farm, Ray was a business lender for 20 years. This gives him a unique perspective on the water management business: how to reduce risk, manage costs and improve outcomes. ACCWS is built on knowing that understanding the science behind water quality challenges is the surest path to successful treatment.
Ray has lead ACCWS to form partnerships with water and waste water innovators across North America who share a focus on science to produce positive results. Specialties areas of service include: raw water aeration design/reservoir management, biological aerobic and anaerobic wastewater solutions, ultrasonic algae control applications, phosphorus and manganese management, and food production wastewater management.
