What is Phoslock?

Phoslock is a modified clay product which removes soluble phosphorus from all kinds of water bodies including fresh, brackish and saline water. Removal of phosphorus reduces the ‘eutrophication’ commonly shown by algal blooms in water.

How was Phoslock developed?

Phoslock was developed in Australia by scientists at the Federal Government owned CSIRO and funded jointly by the Western Australian State Government’s Water and Rivers Commission and the Swan River Trust. The research was initiated in late 1994 to remediate the Swan and Canning Rivers by reducing the level of phosphorus.
