Release oxygen / Capture nutrients / Restore aquatic balance
OxySorb™ is a multifunctional granulate that combines controlled oxygen release with adsorptive media for long-term water-quality management.
The name OxySorb™ reflects its two principal functions: “Oxy” for controlled oxygen release and “Sorb” for contaminant adsorption. Its oxygen-releasing component is designed to improve conditions in oxygen-depleted water and sediment, while the granular adsorbent targets selected nutrients and pollutants. OxySorb™ can support programmes addressing eutrophication, phosphate enrichment, sulphide odour, organic sediment and low dissolved oxygen. Every project requires water-body characterisation, ecological assessment, controlled dosage selection and ongoing monitoring.
Sustained oxygenation / Targeted nutrient capture
One oxygen-adsorption technology.
Multiple restoration environments.
OxySorb™ can be evaluated for managed surface water, wastewater and remediation projects where oxygen depletion and nutrient enrichment contribute to poor water quality.
Lakes, Ponds & Reservoirs
Supports oxygenation and nutrient management in water bodies affected by eutrophication, algae and organic sediment.
Rivers, Streams & Canals
May provide local oxygen support and pollutant management in slow-moving or professionally controlled waterways.
Wastewater Lagoons
Supports aerobic biological activity, sulphide control and organic-matter degradation in wastewater lagoons.
Wetlands, Harbours & Basins
Can be evaluated for targeted restoration where site hydrodynamics and ecological compatibility are understood.
Oil & Grease Traps
The brochure identifies sulphide and odour control in oil and grease traps as an additional application.
Soil & Groundwater Remediation
Proposed for selected soil-treatment, groundwater-remediation and groundwater-pump applications following specialist assessment.
Four water-restoration functions / Integrated into one granule
Controlled Active Oxygen (OXYGEN-RELEASE)
The oxygen-releasing component gradually supplies oxygen to support improved dissolved-oxygen and sediment conditions.
Nutrient Adsorption (PHOSPHATE-CAPTURE)
The adsorptive granules are intended to capture phosphate and reduce its immediate availability for excessive algae and cyanobacteria growth.
Odour and Harmful-Gas Management (SULPHIDE-CONTROL)
Oxygen release and adsorption can help reduce hydrogen sulphide and the strongly reducing conditions responsible for nuisance odours.
Support for Aerobic Degradation (BIOREMEDIATION)
Improved oxygen availability can support aerobic microorganisms responsible for degrading biodegradable organic matter.
Science & Technology
OxySorb™ combines an oxygen-generating phase with granular adsorption to address both oxygen deficiency and nutrient enrichment.
- Oxygen-Generating Chemistry – Identifies “Oxyperoxide” as the principal oxygen-releasing component, designed to release active oxygen gradually on contact with water.
- Bottom-Water Oxygen Support – As granules settle, oxygen is delivered closer to bottom sediments, helping reduce hypoxia and supporting more aerobic sediment conditions.
- Phosphate Adsorption – Phosphate binds to suitable mineral surfaces through adsorption, surface complexation or precipitation (captured phosphorus remains in the solid phase).
- Biological Restoration – Increased oxygen availability supports aerobic bacteria and other microorganisms that metabolise biodegradable organic matter when external sources are controlled.
