SchlixX Primary Use: Sludge Digestion
Free nutrients, mostly phosphate, are the main driver of algal bloom and the accumulation of sludge in lakes. Also the organic part of sludge stores free nutrients. By removing it, there is more water capacity in the lake as well as less chance of green and blue-green-algal bloom.
SchlixX releases oxygen in the sludge which leads to two effects: Phosphate being insolubly bonded into apatite. Additionally, micro-organisms naturally present in the sludge use the oxygen to decompose the organic matter in the sludge. Schlixx will continue to degrade sludge for up to 8 weeks after application and will reduce or eliminate the need for dredging.

SchlixX exclusively combats organic sludge. In other words: sediment such as sand that enters the water through inflows is not removed by SchlixX. Before using the product we recommend analysing the sludge to first determine the precise composition of the water bed.
