A sustainable approach to nutrient recycling that helps protect water quality, improve soil efficiency, and support long-term production goals.
Agriculture and ranching often contribute excess nutrients into waterways from fertilizer runoff, manure, and organic waste. These nutrients, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen, can create algae growth, reduce water quality, and drive regulatory pressure on farms and ranches.
Aquaculture operations also struggle with nutrient accumulation. Fish and shellfish production generates dissolved nutrients that, if not captured, flow into surrounding waters and contribute to ecosystem imbalances.
Sustainable nutrient management is essential for protecting water, supporting healthy soil, and maintaining production over time. PhosLocker provides a way to address these challenges by removing excess nutrients before they enter sensitive ecosystems.
PhosLocker uses a subtractive nutrient capture technology that binds dissolved nutrients
like phosphorus and nitrogen into stable forms. Instead of letting nutrients run off into
streams, rivers, or ponds, PhosLocker captures them so they can be reused or recycled.
By recovering nutrients, PhosLocker helps reduce nutrient pollution economically
while improving the nutrient efficiency of soil and water systems. This
creates better crop performance and healthier aquatic environments.
PhosLocker’s unique chemistry makes it a valuable tool for farms,
ranches, and aquaculture operations aiming for sustainable growth.
PhosLocker supports nutrient control in:
PhosLocker captures nutrients released after fertilizer application or animal waste breakdown, reducing the
environmental impact and helping land managers keep more nutrients on the farm where they benefit crops.
Aquaculture operations often deal with nutrient buildup in grow-out ponds, raceways, or recirculating systems. Uneaten feed, metabolic waste, and decaying organic matter release phosphorus and nitrogen that can reduce water quality and stress stock.
PhosLocker can be used in aquaculture water systems to capture excess nutrients, improve clarity, and help maintain healthier water conditions. This increases the sustainability of operations while reducing discharge risks and ecological impact.
Traditional Runoff Management:
PhosLocker’s Approach:
By capturing excess nutrients before they leave fields or ponds, PhosLocker helps reduce nutrient loss from soils. This supports better nutrient retention within crop root zones and reduces the need for repeated fertilizer applications.
In aquaculture, removing dissolved nutrients helps maintain water quality, reducing oxygen stress and limiting conditions that promote harmful algal growth.
These benefits make PhosLocker a valuable addition to sustainable farm and aquaculture nutrient management plans.
