Other Options for Algae Control

Physical removal of algae is always an option. This is most successful when there is relatively small amounts of algae to remove. However, when large amounts are in question, one must consider that ten thousand pounds of wet algae represents only about one pound of phosphorus removed from the water. Along with being too labor intensive in given cases, most land fills and dumps are reducing or eliminating organic yard-type wastes from their sites leaving physical removal of algae as not always being the most appropriate solution. Marine Biochemists does not currently offer physical removal of algae as one of its services.
