SOLUTIONS
Increase Plant & Fish Growth as well as Profits - Naturally
Green Co and partners supply and implement sustainable aeration technology and organic soil remediation solutions for the enhancement of crop quality and yield. What’s more is that our solutions are eco-friendly and reduce the need for preventative chemical treatments and refrigeration, which requires costly electricity – a huge benefit for growers interested in improving their operations, profits and impact on the environment.
Progressive growers are increasingly investing in our cutting edge water oxygenation technology – a new technology that is proving to be disruptive and is displacing old and outdated aeration methods.
Research shows that high-quality irrigation water with supersaturated levels of dissolved oxygen (up to 300% more with our technology) can dramatically increase crop resilience and yield. Aeration of wastewater allows rapid aerobic biodegradation of organic materials.This single energy efficient, chemical free solution replaces old, inefficient energy intensive gas transfer equipment and reduces the need for harmful chemical oxidant and surfactants.
Through the use of our solution, growers are experiencing significant gains in plant health and growth rates through increased water and nutrient uptake, root cell generation, energy generation via ATP production, plant resilience & stress handling as well as increased photosynthetic capacity, whilst irradiating issues related to biofilm that cause havoc with irrigation systems and backup tanks.
Our aeration technology produces bubbles that hover within a liquid for months, instead of rising to the surface or dissolving, making them available for participation in physical, biological and chemical reactions.
They have an equilibrium of surface tension, internal and external pressure which gives them a neutral buoyancy, a strong negative surface charge and high transfer efficiency at 85% oxygen transfer efficiency in irrigation water, maximising oxygen utilisation by plants.
These bubbles act like a chemical free oxidant by producing hydroxyl radicals which lyse algal cells and reduce harmful pathogens, killing or inactivating them.
Bioremediation for Environmental Cleanups
Bioremediation solutions are very effective for environmental clean-ups of waterways and ecosystems polluted with organic waste.
By enhancing the oxidation of slow to breakdown organic compounds in lakes, rivers and water bodies, our bioremediation solutions restore the natural balance and stability of these bodies of open water, restoring their capacity to support aquatic life and for safe water use. Treatments are very cost effective when compared to alternative treatments, when comparing yield and mortality rates.
We use biological mechanisms inherent in microbes and plants to eradicate hazardous pollutants and to restore an ecosystem to its original condition. Certain microbes and bacteria use contaminants as a source of food and energy. Bioremediation is a natural organic treatment that is non-toxic, non-caustic, biodegradable and non-pathogenic and can be used in the clean up of contaminated soil and groundwater and complies with the strictest environmental regulations.
Our bioremediation is used to treat swine farms, slurry lagoons, cattle and poultry dry manure and compost heaps. The treatment is also extremely effective in slaughter houses, palm oil mills, waste water treatment plants, in industrial applications and as a soil enhancer in crop production.
Waste from pig farms carry pathogens, bacteria and heavy metals. Pig waste also contributes to groundwater pollution when there is groundwater seepage. When properly decomposed, it can serve as a rich and valuable fertiliser.
Bioremediation Enhances Soil Quality
Organic waste from food processing and farming can be treated with our remediation solutions and can then be used as organic fertiliser with faster turn around, improved settling, screening and nutrient composition, as well as longer bedding life.
Our bacterial and microbe applications stimulate biological activity, and provide biological improvement to soil. Treated soil holds a better structure and porosity as well as improves a plants ability to absorb nutrients, resist drought, environmental stresses and reduces the need for fertilisers and control agents.
In summary, Bioremediation and aeration applications enable faster turn-around times, lowers handling costs, improves soil composition and yields a higher quality fertiliser and eliminates odours.
“A lot of untreated industrial wastewater is released into open waterways, which negatively affects the quality of water overall by potentially entering aquifers and groundwater.”
Bioremediation for Aquaculture
Bioremediation is very effective in the clean up of organic waste and enhances water quality.
Ammonia and nitrogen waste build up is significantly reduced and overall water quality is improved. Bottom Sludge is also reduced which improves the general health of water. Treatment facilitates improved resistance to disease and faster growth rates in fish and also enables larger unit weight.
Our solutions are non-toxic, non-pathogenic bio-products that are safe around humans, animals, plants and aquatic life. Treatments are very cost effective when compared to alternative treatments, when comparing yield and mortality rates.

Like other animal wastes, chicken manure may harbour pathogens such as E-coli, Salmonella, Cryptosporidium and other. To reduce risk to humans and pets, proper handling and precautions are necessary.
Agriculture is central to fostering economic growth, reducing poverty and improving food security in South Africa
In South Africa 1 in 5 households beg for food.
The farming sector is arguably the most important economic sector for South Africas development and is directly linked to food security and poverty reduction.
South Africa’s rivers and dams have a severe problem of microbial contamination from faecal pollutants. 53% of the sampled sites are a risk to peoples health if crops eaten raw are irrigated using this water.
Be part of the solution and not part of the problem related to groundwater contamination through ineffective farming methods and bioremediation.
