The Science of Ecosystem Restoration
​ a passive technology restoring the
NATURAL BALANCE

​When Treating a water body with Algae Control Australia's Pulsar family of ultrasonics, it is worth considering the below water remediation process in view of getting your water back to its pristine self.

​Introducing the PBE enables the water to handle incoming flows of sometimes less than ideal algae and nutrients. 

      

The Prebiotic Bacteria Enhancer (PBE) is a cost effective passive technology which restores the natural balance in aquatic ecosystems by providing a favourable habitat for beneficial bacteria. This is achieved through the provision of bioavailable organic carbon elements infused in a dynamically designed homes to significantly grow the good bacteria in any water body. It contains millions of microscopic capillaries of the size that act as a protective home for all beneficial bacteria. This also creates ideal conditions for the proliferation of bacterial species Bacillus to an extent where the colonies form a microbial mat. The populations of Bacillus are able to convert inorganic phosphorus into forms which become available for other beneficial organisms to consume whilst suppressing detrimental species such as E.coli and Cyanobacteria.

​Along the way, this is a great add on to water health where the Pulsar Ultrasonic technology takes care of the algae, this PBE gets your water bodies ecosystem back to being able to fight the many imbalances brought about by changing weather patterns and more so by excessive back flows from irrigation combined with  the fertiliser and inorganic residue which has become used as common practise for turf and plant fertilization.
​
​It must be noted, that with the presence of the Bacillus and their action towards converting inorganic  nutrients to usable forms, that the need for fertilising your turf or plants is much reduced due to these available nutrients now present at higher levels in your water. 

      

Bacillus produces enzymes which split nutrient cells down to a size that the nitrogen cycle bacteria can consume. When you have a nutrient overload the small nutrient cells reattach to the larger ones; this becoming a nitrification inhibitor as the nitrogen cycle bacteria cannot consume these larger nutrient cells.

                                                                                                                              

PBE activates a natural 1000X in Bacillus.

      

Laboratory conditions show that one Bacillus bacteria becomes 8000 in 10 hours. With the stimulation of PBC, one bacterium becomes 8 million in 10 hours. This then naturally allows more enzyme production to cope with the excess nutrient load, splitting the cells back down to a size the nitrogen cycle bacteria can consume, producing biological nitrate as energy for diatoms and microalgae which then naturally eliminates cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).

​Once the cycle of cyanobacteria has been broken the whole aquatic ecosystem is able to regenerate. Nutrient loads to lakes and rivers can be greatly reduced by combining the use of he PBE with the implementation of best management practices and potentially combining with Pulsar Ultrasonic Systems to assist with treating continuous inflows containing over abundant algae. This will result in the aquatic ecosystem of any lake and river to be restored.

PBE doesn’t provide any microbes or bacteria in the water; it is just a home for natural bacteria to live and multiply in and contains multiple organic forms of carbon as bacterial food. Curtin University has shown that PBE holds 832% more bacteria than normal mediums.

Waterzyme partnered with a NSW Council to treat its wastewater treatment plant, which has been experiencing harmful algae blooms with potentially toxic cyanophytes. The three-week field calibration's primary objective was to assess the application of Waterzyme and estimate the reduction of Microcystis spp.

The secondary objective was to monitor water quality and aquatic species parameters in the pond and receiving environment to determine the effect of this application.
