CAPTure™ is deployment ready.
The problem with phosphorus
Phosphorus is a critical nutrient for all forms of life. However, human activity introduces excess phosphorus from fertilizers and urban landscapes into our rivers and lakes.
While phosphorus is readily available to terrestrial plants, in aquatic systems its scarcity often limits growth. Too much phosphorus in these systems can lead to nuisance weed growth, fish kills, and harmful algal blooms.
How CAPTure™ works
Larger phosphorus removal systems can run into issues with installation size, costs, or maintenance in the case of media failure. CAPTure™ utilizes replaceable media within a series of filter vessels to overcome these issues.
Replaceable media enables a smaller installation footprint and associated costs while protecting against media failure. Replacing media at yearly intervals provides innate maintenance that prevents sedimentation or aggregation.
CAPTure™ versus other practices
Conservation practices have been reducing phosphorus for decades, but are generally focused on particulate phosphorus. Dissolved phosphorus has a bigger impact on aquatic systems and is more difficult to intercept.
CAPTure™ systems installed in the field have demonstrated up to 90% dissolved phosphorus reductions for single events, while lab testing has shown that 40-60% average long-term reductions can be expected.
