Turbid water, blooming algae, polluted sediments and silt packed with impurities… Does not sound very tempting! However, too many lakes suffer from these nuisances that strain their ecosystems and limit recreational and other use. With nutrients or toxic substances rising from the bottom or algae covering its surface – or both! – a lake can be in serious need of help.
Kemira offers the broadest available selection of products for bringing relief to lakes in distress. The company has provided solutions for lakes around Europe and North America for several decades.
Water can be treated with dosing boats on the spot or at external plants located in the lake’s proximity. Polluted sediments can be covered by water treatment chemicals, encapsulating the impurities. If the sediments are removed by dredging, handling is enhanced with the use of chemical products. Using Kemira’s products removes the cause of the problem, while other methods, like aeration, only remove the symptoms.
