REDUCE NUTRIENTS

Limit phosphorus loading at the source

PROTECT ECOSYSTEMS

Support healthy water and aquatic life

PASSIVE SOLUTIONS. PROVEN RESULTS

Engineered in-water treatment systems that capture sediment and reduce phosphorus to improve water quality in lakes, ponds, canals, and in flow channels.

PASSIVE & RELIABLE

Low maintenance.

Long-term performance.

Water bodies are often adversely impacted by concentrated sources of runoff. Whether nutrients, bacteria or other contaminants are the problem, we provide expert guidance to define and provide the optimum barrier solution.

Check out the projects below to see what is possible with Mackworth's nutrient reduction technology.

Nutrient reduction on a stream in Sanford, Maine

Bauneg Beg Lake

Pilot application for Mackworth's nutrient barrier technology. The project featured an experimental tri-barrier sytem, with a target of 40% reduction in total phosphorus from the inlet stream.

Phosphate reduction in a drinking water resevior at Long Lake Beach in Maine

MTI TechStart Technology Demonstration

Barriers were installed in two Maine Lakes to conduct nutrient removal technology testing and various reagents.

Lake Attitash

Particulate control barrier system deployed in river to reduce phosphorus inputs from the tributary.
