Trade Enviro is an Australian supplier of floating water baffles used for flow control and retention management in treatment ponds and lagoon systems.
Trusted by industrial operators across Australia
Product Overview
Floating water baffles are impervious floating curtains used to control hydraulic flow paths in lagoons, ponds, and treatment systems. By increasing retention time and directing water movement, baffles support settling of suspended solids and improve overall treatment performance.

- Skirt: Material between float and ballast chain pocket
- Ballast: Galvanised chain providing stability at the curtain base
- Connector: ASTM standard Z-connector system
Simple Floating Water Baffle Flow Control
Unrestricted flow without baffles
In an unbaffled pond or lagoon, water follows the shortest path from inlet to discharge. This reduces retention time and limits settling of suspended solids.
Flow redirection using floating water baffles
Floating baffles interrupt direct flow paths and redirect water through a longer, controlled route. This increases hydraulic retention time and promotes settling within the system.
What are floating water baffles used for?
Floating water baffles are used in ponds, lagoons, and treatment systems to control flow paths and increase retention time within the water body.
Are floating baffles permanent or temporary?
Floating baffles can be supplied for temporary or longer-term deployments depending on materials, flotation method, and ballast configuration.
Do floating baffles sit on the surface or below the water?
Floating baffles use surface flotation with a submerged curtain extending below the waterline. The depth of the curtain (draft) varies by model and application.
Can floating baffles be installed in existing ponds or lagoons?
Floating baffles are surface-mounted systems and can be installed without excavation or structural modification to the pond or lagoon.
