Lakes and Waterways

Restoration of Microbial Balance

Our microbial treatments restore the natural microbial balance in lakes and waterways. These treatments effectively break down organic pollutants, such as fats, oils, greases (FOG), nitrates, and phosphates—common contributors to water degradation. By doing so, we improve water quality and help recover aquatic life.

Invasive Species and Weed Control

Our products eliminate harmful algae, invasive weeds, and cyanobacteria, which disrupt natural ecosystems. For example, we have successfully reduced invasive weeds and restored fish stocks in Lake Victoria, Kenya. This process improves biodiversity and helps restore the natural balance of waterways.

Bioaugmentation and Pollution Reduction

Avantu’s bioaugmentation solutions degrade harmful substances like hydrogen sulfide and other pollutants, helping to reduce the incidence of waterborne diseases. By increasing dissolved oxygen levels by up to 500%, our products support healthier aquatic environments, allowing plants and wildlife to thrive.

Odour and Sludge Reduction

Our advanced microbial formulations also target sludge build-up and odour-causing compounds, significantly reducing unpleasant smells and restoring water flow. This ensures a cleaner, more pleasant environment for surrounding communities.
