General Info• Volcanic Crater Lake• Formed ~400+ years ago• Surface area = 1.58 km2 • Max depth = 210 m• Chemocline ≈50 m• Volume = 179,400,000 m3
• rainfall = 2.5 m/yr • Inflow
– 0-50 m: rainfall & streams– 50-210 m: soda springs
• CO2 rich water
• Outflow– Natural dam/spillway

The 1986 Disaster• ~80 million m3 of CO2 released from
Lake Nyos• Killed ~1800 people and thousands
of animals. • Cause = rapid overturn
• Volcanic or limnetic? Or both?

Degassing Lake Nyos
• 2001: full fledge degassing column was successfully assembled, installed and primed. – continuous– 50 m fountain
• Spray = 90% CO2 and 10% water.
• 50,000 STP m3/day
