EKOBENTIK – how the method works

EKOBENTIK is a tested and natural method that rapidly remediates lakes and coastal bays that suffer from nutrient overload and oxygen depletion, and restores them into healthy and clear waters for swimming and fishing.

​

This is how it works:

Aluminium occurs naturally in lake sediments, where it binds phosphorus. Excessive phosphorus loads from external sources such as agriculture overwhelms the aluminium minerals in lake sediments. The lakes become eutrophic and suffer from algal blooms.

 

By applying aluminium salts with precision into lake sediments, the natural mineral balance is restored and the vicious cycle is broken. The aluminium mineral binds to the phosphorus and limits algal blooms. The result is a rapid and long-lasting restoration of the entire ecosystem.
