Algae Corner: Introducing EutroSORB Phosphorus Filtration Technology

Today I’m very excited to introduce a brand new technology that I helped develop! It’s called EutroSORB Phosphorus Filtration Technology.

EutroSORB fits a critical need in water resource management programs, which I will explain in today’s episode.

Algae Corner: Aquashade – The Key Tool for Pond Management
Aquashade is a specific blend of US EPA-registered dyes that block wavelengths of light that nuisance plants and algae use to grow. So get out, pour in some Aquashade, shade out those nuisance plants and algae, and get your pond in much better shape this season.

Algae Corner: Captain XTR Research Update
Today we’re going to cover a research update on Captain XTR. Specifically, we’ll go through some of the peer-reviewed studies and scientific literature that’s been published on Captain XTR. The key goal here is to help you understand how Captain XTR can be used in aquatic systems and how efficient and effective it can be in a wide array of algal species in a variety of sites.

Algae Corner: Introducing EutroSORB
Today we're going to take a look at EutroSORB, which is a novel solution to filter phosphorus out of water, stop the eutrophication process, and protect and restore water quality.

Algae Corner: Algae After Dark
In today's episode we're going to cover a broad overview of how algae reproduce. We'll also look at a couple groups of algae in detail, including cyanobacteria, diatoms, and desmids.

Algae Corner: Why Algaecides Aren't Scary
Welcome to this critically important episode on why algaecides aren't scary. What we want to talk about today is specific US EPA-approved algaecides and how they can be efficient, effective, and ecologically-friendly tools in the fight against nuisance algae and toxic algae.

Algae Corner: Microscope Creatures
Today we are going to share a little snapshot of many different creatures that are common in lakes and ponds.

Why is it important?

We already have industry-leading technologies for nutrient mitigation in the pond itself, like Phoslock. This gives us the ability to bind the nutrients from the water column into the sediments. And there are certainly things you can do upstream, like watershed programs or storm water control measures. However, most ponds have inflows, whether they are streams, ditches, culverts, etc. These bring a lot of water and nutrients into the pond, and this can greatly degrade water quality in your system.

How does it work?

Nutrients in flowing water are exactly what EutroSORB was designed to target. It excels in these conditions. It loves flowing water and can quickly bind phosphorus out of the water column in those inflow waters as it comes across the filter. This is a critical new tool for nutrient mitigation, and definitely something to consider incorporating in your water resource management program.

In summary

Take a look at your pond or lake, and see if you can identify these inflows into your system. That's where EutroSORB needs to be! It can certainly help you offset the eutrophication process and improve the overall health of your water resource.
