Control of invasive bivalves |
The presence of invasive bivalves in the structures of hydroelectric power generation, irrigation systems, drinking water supply, among others, cause major maintenance problems. Cyclically, the work teams carry out cleaning operations that cause the technical stoppage of these production centers.
In addition to the economic damages, others are produced, which affect the environment. This is because aggressive methods and products are used against the aquatic environment and also against the structures themselves, such as corrosion and wear of vital parts. The Ecowater Innova Method solves these problems effectively, lastingly and ecologically. The use of innocuous products and equipment for non-target species, water bodies and structural materials, make our service a guarantee of quality, economy and respect for nature. To carry out this task, the application of methods based on success is required. During years of field and laboratory work, today we can offer the advantages of the Ecowater Innova Method |
Eutrophication seriously alters the environmental characteristics of aquatic ecosystems by breaking the trophic chain and increasing the entropy (disorder) of the ecosystem. The result is ecosystems with a reduced biodiversity, with opportunistic species that occupy niches that previously occupied other species. The ecological consequences are obvious, but as they tend to go hand in hand with economic losses for different reasons.
Experience tells us that the methods used to eliminate algae and that use chemical products are not reliable. The collateral effects produced by the continued use of chemicals are often irreversible. They also affect the health of people. The Ecowater Innova Method, employs only products and equipment that have proven their effectiveness and safety on numerous occasions. Combined equipment / product systems are a necessary alliance to cover the wide spectrum of damages that can be caused as a result of eutrophication. |
The selective, ecological and innocuous control of the zebra mussel is a challenge. This mollusk causes havoc wherever it is installed. Without enemies who can keep their expansion at bay, it dislodges other species and installs itself in structures that produce energy and irrigate our fields.
Millions of hours of work have been spent by scientists from all the countries where D.P. is installed, in order to find an effective and environmentally compatible solution. Millions of euros or dollars, have been spent and still continue to spend, to the despair of those responsible. After many years of research and a lot of money invested, MARRONE BIO INNOVATION, has achieved a product capable of responding to this challenge. ZEQUANOX, is a product based on dead microorganisms. Pseudomonas fluorences is a bacterium that, ingested by the zebra mussel as food, causes its death. Its effect is lethal only to the zebra mussel. Other species feed on Zequanox without counterproductive effect. The water is not affected and after the application process the physical chemical conditions, they return to their original state. Is not it fantastic? |
