Pollution in the Sorgue River had reached such
proportions that the river fauna and flora were threatened. Under the supervision
of our Alken representatives in France and Switzerland, Alken Clear-Flo®
1200 was used to combat the organic pollutants in the river, in 1993. The
river was seeded with 500 kilograms of selected mineralizing bacteria over
306 meters of river. The bacteria literally digested the organic silt and
returned the River Sorgue to its original clear condition. The results were
visible in two months and the fish, that previously proliferated the river,
returned. |

Before cleanup, water is
covered with algal bloom and is murky. | After cleanup, the water
is transparent and the grass at the bottom is easily visible. |
