		<description>&quot;How to remove that much nitrogen remains one of the toughest problems to answer.&quot;

We have an answer to this problem.

On land plants consume nitrogen and plants are consumed by people and cattle.

In water Diatom Algae can consume the Nitrogen and diatoms are consumed by zooplankton and these by fish.

However, Diatoms require Silica, Iron and many other micro nutrients.

Since Diatoms are microscopic, these are to be in a size smaller than the pores in the Diatoms.

We have solved the problem of how to make these available in water to Diatoms.

We have invented a nano technology silica and micro nutrient powder.
Diatoms start to bloom as soon as this powder is mixed into the water. 
Diatoms absorb CO2 and release Oxygen, this increases the Dissolved Oxygen of the water. Diatoms also consume N and P.

Diatoms are consumed by fish, thus they don&#039;t accumulate in water.
This is unlike other algae - Cyanobacteria and Dinoflagallets, these are not consumed and hence accumulate in water and become a nuisance.

Our product has been in use in India for past 4 years, with very good results.</description>
