Sludgetrol™
Sludgetrol™ is the key to controlling the odor and solids accumulation associated with standing water in lagoons, ponds or waste confinement pits, and controls the bacteria that lives in the water. If left untreated, the oxygen in the water is used up and anaerobic bacteria flourish. In the short run, the odor is the source of complaints as sulfur dioxide is released into the air. In the long run, the pond fills in, as partially digested solids fall to the bottom. There are many types of anaerobic bacteria, the most widely known are chara, nitella, filamentous algae (pond scum) and plankton.

To eliminate the problems associated with standing water, anaerobic bacteria must be replaced with aerobic bacteria. Aerobic bacteria produce odor-less carbon dioxide and free flowing liquid waste. Bacterial control requires an effective water management program.

To be effective, a water management program must do three things:
1. Inhibit the growth of anaerobic bacteria
2.
P
rovide oxygen for aerobic bacteria
3. Maintain a balanced pH

Technical Data
Product Specifications
Sludgetrol Ô is a key component in a water management program.  Sludgetrol Ô directly controls the anaerobic bacteria by blocking the actions of enzymes that they need to survive. With anaerobic bacteria under control, aerobic bacteria can thrive.
Directions for Use
For algae/bacteria control, apply in late spring or early summer when algae/bacteria first appear. The dosages are variable, and depend upon algae/bacteria species, water hardness, water temperature, amount of algae/bacteria present, as well as whether water is clear, turbid, flowing or static. Preferably, the water should be clear with temperatures above 60° F (15.6 ° C). Higher dosages are required at lower water temperatures, higher algae/bacteria concentrations, and for hard waters. Application should be done by pouring Sludgetrol Ô directly from the container into the lakes, ponds, reservoirs, or irrigation canals. Several application points speed up dispersal. Static water requires less chemical for algae/bacteria control than does flowing water. Use higher dosages for chara, nitella, and filamentous algae (pond scum), and lower dosages for planktonic algae. If there is uncertainty about the dosage, begin with a lower dose and increase until control is achieved, or until the maximum allowable level has been reached.
