Remediation of Lakes, Rivers, Oceans

Lakes, rivers, estuaries, backwaters and even oceans are becoming more and more polluted due to influx of sewage and fertilizer runoff. Most of the fresh water in the world is held in lakes and reservoirs. Solution is a simple and effective to treat sewage and eutrophied water bodies. It contains micronutrients required by Diatom Algae in nano size (5 to 20 nano meters), contains Si, Fe, Mn, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, B, S, Mo, etc.,

How does it works? - It causes a bloom of Diatom Algae. Diatom Algae are aquatic plants that absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis. Higher oxygen levels in water enable aerobic bacteria to grow and these breakdown organics in the water. Thus product and Diatoms are a substitute for electric powered Aerators used in pond and lake restoration.

Why Diatom Algae? - Diatoms have a silica body, unlike other algae such as Green Algae and Blue Green Algae which have cellulose bodies. Diatoms are consumed by zooplankton and these by fishes. Thus the organic pollutants exit the water in the form of fish biomass.

Oxygen - 1 liter of product results in release of at least 100 kgs of Oxygen.

Bioremediation

It can clean up organic pollution in open drains, ponds (natural or artificial), lakes, rivers, estuaries and oceans. Green algae and Water Hyacinth will stop growing and Blue Green Algae will die off and Dinoflagallets will be controlled. Some heavy metals may get oxidized.

Advantages

  • It is simple to use, economical, safe and very flexible.
  • There is no capital cost, use can be started and stopped as required.
  • Dosage can be increased or decreased based on the condition of the water.
  • Polluted lakes are generally green with Blue Green Algae this will become clear in a few weeks time.

Application

Product mixes very easily in water, mechanical mixing is not required. It can be poured directly into the lake or sewage or mixed in a small quantity of water – 1 liter in 5 to 10 liters and this can be mixed into the lake.
