Application Methods
A combination of various mixing systems and vessel platforms are used in the application of Phoslock.
Our experience and application knowledge can be shared with our clients to allow you or your nominated contractor to undertake self-application of Phoslock.
Gaining an understanding of a water body at the early stage of a project will help us determine the best application method and to plan the logistics in transporting equipment and Phoslock to a site.
Much experience has been gained from many years of successful applications around the world, from vast remote lakes to smaller urban water bodies.
Modular Pontoon System
One of the most frequently used vessel types from which to apply Phoslock is the Modular Pontoon System. Motorised pontoons can be adapted to accommodate either the MD-1 or the IDN mixing systems. These systems are suitable for sites where access using large vehicles is difficult, they can be easily transported and are quick to assemble.
NATO type steel barges
NATO type steel barges are well suited for larger projects. The barges are self-propelled by a rear mounted outboard and mixing is generally done using an IDN Mixing System. These types of barges have been used in many of the large scale Phoslock applications undertaken globally.
Specially adapted boats
Specially adapted boats, such as the one shown in the image, have been used due to shallow waters.
Payload capacity remains high due to the flat bottom of the boat and the loading spread, making them perfect for use in shallow lakes and water bodies
Shore based systems
Shore-based systems can be used for small projects, such as large ponds, farm dams or smaller water bodies where it may be impractical to deploy work boats. A land-based mixer unit is often used in these instances and slurry is discharged via a lay flat hose by the operator.
