Copper sulfate was traditionally used in this irrigation pond to reduce the algae bloom. The grower decided to use TTT BFMS. FITOTEC uses the BEMS concept for water treatment. In this instance TTT BEMS was initiated November 2006 and sixty days later the pond was crystal clear. The BEMS break down and digest organic debris in the pond, mitigated the nitrates and other toxins in the pond and increased the aquatic life.

Notice how the debris from the bottom of the pond is starting to surface. The facultative microbes from TTT BEMS are consuming the organic debris and cleaning the overlaying sludge. Once the anaerobic conditions on the pond bottom are eliminated the pH is balanced to 6.4, dissolved oxygen levels increased and offensive odors eliminated.

The reservoir is clear, there is no algae or chemical contaminants and as a result no plugging of pumps.

Pre treatment on 11/30/2006 had levels of >24000 MPN (most probable number)/100 ml Coliform and E.coli of <1.0 MPN /100 ml.

Twenty days post treatment the Coliform was mitigated to 650 MPN / 100 ml and E.coli remained at <1.0 MPN/100 and the organic debris, bottom sludge digested and the pond cleaned up.

Every field and pond is different due to the history of chemicals used or organisms present at time of TTT BEMS.
