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
