About Bioclean® Lake / Pond Clarifier
The ecological status of water bodies can be determined by two main parameters - phosphorus content and chlorophyll content. Phosphorous is a limiting nutrient for algal growth, which cannot be fixed from atmosphere or any other source. Excessive phosphorus levels, encourages the growth of algae, which is reflected in chlorophyll values. The ecological status therefore can be determined from the concentration of these two factors. Based on phosphorous and Chlorophyll content the lakes are classified as follows.
Analytical Parameters for determining the trophic status of water bodies.
| Trophic State |
Phosphorus (µg/L) |
Chlorophyll (µg/L) |
| Oligotrophic |
4 to 10 |
1.0 to 2.5 |
| Mesotrophic |
10 to 35 |
2.5 to 8.0 |
| Eutrophic |
35 to 100 |
8.0 to 25.0 |
| Hypertrophic |
> 100 |
> 25.0 |
Features of Bioclean® Lake / Pond Clarifier
There are literally millions of different naturally occurring microbes in our world. We have found a way to isolate and create unique products from certain microbes to perform highly specific, beneficial tasks. The microbes in Organica Biotech's Bioclean® Lake / Pond Clarifier help restore natural balance in situations where environmental factors have led to unstable and unhealthy water quality conditions. In many cases chemical treatments are used, but chemical treatment creates anoxic conditions at the bottom leading to even more phosphorous from the sediments. The killing of algae and weeds is temporary. Chemical Treatment cannot remove organic muck from the sediments and Chemicals can be toxic to other aquatic life.
Mode of Action of Bioclean® Lake / Pond Clarifier
- Degradation of Organics
Organic Matter -------> CO2 + H2O
- Degradation of Organic Phosphorus
Organic Phosphorus -------> CO2 + H2O + PO4
- Immobilisation of Phosphorus
Soluble Phosphate -------> Insoluble Phosphate
- Denitrification of Ammonia and Nitrate
Ammonia -------> Nitrite -------> Nitrate -------> Cell mass
