Nualgi - Nanotechnology
Nualgi is a nanotechnology product patented in many countries across the world including India. It facilitates the growth of Diatom Algae in almost any type of water (fresh, brackish, salty or contaminated). Diatom Algae absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and converts it into oxygen dissolved in water through photosynthesis process. Diatoms are eaten by zooplankton, insect larvae, small shrimps etc. which are in turn eaten by fishes thereby producing a healthy growth of aquatic food chain. Nualgi doesn’t help to reduce nuisance algae alone, it provides for an organic process of converting nutrients into Diatom algae growth.
Diatoms also help other beneficial bacteria to grow that treat the core cause of pollution rather than symptoms. They are consumed as live feed by zooplankton and so on into food chain. This helps to restore a balanced nutrient level converting excess nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in sewage effluents and other contaminated waters. When the dissolved oxygen produced by Diatoms is used up by the aquatic food chain, unwanted water weeds, hyacinth and other harmful algae such as the green and the blue-green algae are deprived of nutrients and slowly die. It needs to be dosed at regular intervals to maintain clean and clear water conditions.
Nualgi has been tested and certified as non toxic with zero mortality on fishes by Institute of Toxicology, Lucknow.
We live in a complicated urban setup where sources of contamination are spread far and wide around us. To try and stop ALL sources of pollution would be difficult or even impossible. We offer to work with you to.
- Clean sewage affected or severely eutrophic waters to bathing level quality.
- Clean waters of blue-green algae and weeds including persistent weeds.
- Restore water quality in a biologically friendly and cost effective manner.
- Remove foul odour of Hydrogen Sulphide and Ammonia.
- Reduce faecal coliform levels to permissible limits.
- Reduce heavy metal content in water to permissible limits.
- Reduce or eliminate vector borne larvae like that of malaria, dengue etc.
- Reduce organic sediments at the bottom of water bodies through aerobic digestion.
It is very economical compared to other treatments available. Nulagi is available in packages of 1 litre bottles. Remediation is rapid and can start anytime. It does not need any electricity or civil works for application. Treated waters will be able to support high aquatic biodiversity of fishes, insects and other aquatic creatures.
Diatoms: Diatom is a type of algae. It is also one of the most beneficial algal groups and form the primary producers of live feed in aquatic food chains. Their cell wall is made of silica which can be digested by fishes and other intermediates as compared to green or blue green algae whose cell walls are made of cellulose and cannot be digested by marine animals.
Diatom Algae require CO2, Nitrogen and Phosphorus and many other nutrients including sunlight for photosynthesis. They are responsible for 25% of oxygen in the atmosphere. They absorb more carbon dioxide in the world than all the forests put together.
They bring life back to eutrophic waters. Diatoms grow in huge numbers under right conditions increasing dissolved oxygen content in water and kickstarting an aquatic ecosystem.
