As the summer progressed it became much worse creating a blanket of sludge. We tried many options and had spent thousands of dollars. Some products worked for a… Continue Reading
Nitrifying Bacteria Our greatest competitive advantage is our technology for manufacturing and stabilizing nitrifying bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria play a critical role in reducing ammonia and nitrite levels in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), ponds, and in the control of excessive algae growth. Nitrifying bacteria consume Nh3, No2, and also consume large amount of Phosphate (Po4). These nutrients are also… Continue Reading
Department of Conservation: Te Papa Atawhai Motutapu Dam Algae Treatment In autumn 2011, the “Duck Pond” on Motutapu Island was fenced off preventing livestock access. The dam was in a highly degraded state with poor water quality. The dam is located within the West Point catchment which contains a small stream that has proven to be the second… Continue Reading

We had a test project in Canada with a company that does Waste Water Treatment modifications. The project was two 5000 gallons tanks in a processing plant. The BOD level were at 650, they did have computerized system that fed dried bacteria into the tanks. I’m not sure what the BOD levels went down to, but I… Continue Reading
High Nitrite Effects Ponds and Lakes Environmental Impact Nitrates in fertilizer dissolve in rain or irrigation water. Eventually, they find their way into ground water, wells, streams, rivers and lakes. Warm weather and high levels of nitrates in rivers and lakes may lead to algae blooms and fish kills, where large numbers of fish die in water. Excess nitrates… Continue Reading
