Lakes & Ponds

Biochar has been traditionally used to improve soil fertility and agricultural yields, but can also be utilized as a natural nutrient management tool in lakes and ponds. Contained in a large sock-like bag, this porous material allows water to flow through while pulling nutrients, metals, and pollutants from the water.

 

Biological Carbon, our biochar supplier, has been testing our engineered biochar, designed to remove orthophosphate from lake water to prevent algae blooms. Test results demonstrate that our biochar removes orthophosphate and metals from the water remarkably well, to levels below EPA standards. Our product is non-toxic to produce and non-toxic when deployed into sensitive ecosystems.  More to come as it becomes available.
