Our state-of-the-art #QualityAssurance ensures the consistency of our products. Wastewater treatment operators rely on this when adjusting pH levels during the process. Changes in pH level aid in sedimentation, removing heavy metals, and killing bacteria. Then, before the water is returned to the environment, they bring the pH level back to a neutral range that is healthy for aquatic life: https://lnkd.in/e2KA2Ej3

Focus on soil structure & water movement 💧⛳ 📚 Soil flocculation refers to a process during which soil particles are dispersed in a solution and adhere to each other, forming separate clusters (aggregates). 🧱 Proper soil flocculation is essential for turfgrass maintenance, as water moves through large pores between aggregates of soil particles. 🌱 Pores are the space for the growth of plant roots and the proliferation of microorganisms. 💨 Dispersed clays can fill in the soil pores space and impede water movement and soil drainage, limiting oxygen availability and favoring the development of anaerobic bacteria. 💧 The improvement of water percolation through the soil profile is especially important during the winter season. The application of a proper formula of soil conditioner, such as a natural-based formula of OxyTurf, can contribute to: ✔️ improved dissemination of soil particles in compacted soils, ✔️ increased oxygen availability and ✔️ effective control of black layer and thatch formation. 🔎 OxyTurf is also a perfect tool to combat anaerobic soil conditions, maintain the balance in the soil microbiome and provide a source of organic matter originating from natural plant extracts. #soil #turfgrass #biostimulants

In many cases if the water source have aquatic life presence, there is high chances of biological fouling. Aquatic waste is most severe cause of bio-fouling in membranes. Most of the Viruses and bacteria have smaller sizes and can easily pass through multiple pre-filterations. Another possible source of Bio-Fouling is the source of water where retention time of water and sunlight exposure is high. To control Bio-Fouling we need to continuous dose of an appropriate biocide similar to the antiscalant. And by checking the bacterial load at a certain frequency over feed water, we can optimize the dosing of biocide. For checking of biological load we can perform TOC, BOD, COD Dip-slide and many other methods. For better understanding of particle size here is the pictorial view.

Nitrogen fixation + spring green-up = better turfgrass growth. Here's a super simplified look at the process. Turfgrass can store a large nitrogen supply for the spring...but only if both microbials and nitrogen work together. Here's how: Step 1: Nitrogen Fixation - Nitrogen fixation is carried out by specific bacteria in the soil and endophytic bacteria (so bacteria living within plant roots and tillers). Step 2: Nitrification - maintains the balance of different forms of nitrogen in the soil, ensuring that plants have access to the nutrients they need for growth and development. In addition, decomposers break down complex nitrogen compounds in dead organisms and animal waste and release nitrogen back into the soil, where they can be used by turfgrass (or plants in general). Step 3: Denitrification - Nitrogen is then returned to the atmosphere by the activity of organisms known as denitrifiers. https://lnkd.in/e7bhK-fX #golfcourses #golfcoursemanagement #turfmanagement #turfgrass

Nicole shows us how you can use a penetrometer to go to the opposite side of the world! Or to determine the level of soil compaction on your farm... The penetrometer is one of the most valuable tools on a farm to help you determine your soils compaction levels and understand how this impacts your crop growth rate and yield. Using the measurement of PSI we can determine if our compaction is at a level where the roots are happy (0-200 PSI), where they're starting to resist (200-300 PSI) and where they will begin to grow sideways, using valuable energy that should be directed towards growth and fruiting instead of searching for moisture. At this level we have an anaerobic situation in the soil - meaning not enough oxygen - which leads to much slower water infiltration and therefore the soil is more susceptible to flooding and rainwater removing precious top soil and nutrients... To learn more about surface and subsurface compaction and how to manage this on farm, comment below and we reach out about our online program, the Regen Community of Practice which covers this tools usage and many more topics in our annual program Comment below! #happyroots #healthysoils #regenerativeagriculture #communityofpractice #carbon8

Throwback Thursday – FI engineers and researchers have developed effective ozone application methods for freshwater RAS. We have studied several approaches including: 1) the use of a high, disinfecting ozone dose to achieve oxidative reduction potential (ORP) up to 525 mV followed by ultraviolet irradiation to destroy harmful residuals, and 2) application of low dose ozone without UV to maintain 250-300 mV ORP, which is harmless to fish. Across many research projects, we have consistently found that low dose ozone provides exceptional water quality and improved salmonid performance without the added costs and complexities of UV. Check out this 2011 article to learn more!    #ozone #FIresearch #RAS #water #aquaculture

🌱Unlocking the Potential of Soil with the Application of OxyTurf+Kelp The equilibrium between microbes and nitrogen is significantly impacted by soil moisture. This is how: In instances where soils experience waterlogging, the availability of oxygen, which is crucial for the sustenance of microbes, becomes limited. Certain bacteria have the ability to adapt to their environment by obtaining oxygen from nitrogen compounds in the form of nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-). The process of denitrification leads to the emission of nitrogen (N2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) gases. There are two main factors that contribute significantly to the process of denitrification: - Soil oxygenation. - The phenomenon of soil microorganisms' activity. Multiple parameters, including organic matter, temperature, nitrate levels, and pH, exert modulation on this phenomenon. Although denitrification occurs naturally to some extent, prolonged soggy circumstances can significantly increase the loss of nitrogen, which poses a threat to the health of turf. How OxyTurf can affect this equation? OxyTurf effectively tackles these difficulties by optimizing the soil environment, acting decisively on excessive compaction and oxygen availability, so creating a more favorable habitat for helpful aerobic microorganisms. OxyTurf effectively mitigates the adverse consequences of extended waterlogging and promotes a balanced nitrogen level in the turf system by enhancing aeration and optimizing soil conditions. This contributes to the overall health and resilience of the turf. The comprehension and effective management of soil dynamics are crucial for greenkeepers and groundsmen. In this endeavor, OxyTurf acts as a dependable ally, ensuring that your turf remains healthy, and vibrant. #OxyTurf #TurfCare #SoilHealth #Greenkeeping

Denitrifying Bacteria (Anaerobic Bacteria) Denitrifying bacteria, also known as anaerobic bacteria, play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle by converting nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) ions into nitrogen gas (N2), which is released into the atmosphere. These bacteria thrive in environments devoid of oxygen, such as waterlogged soils, sediments, and the deeper layers of biofilms in aquatic systems. https://buff.ly/30FDTZ8 #AnaerobicGranularSludge #OrganicWastewater #WaterTreatment #WastewaterTreatment #DomesticWater #IndustrialSewage
