AVELIFE + chlorella: how Kyiv stops the “blooming” of water bodies and restores lakes
In 2025, the municipal enterprise “Pleso” launched a systemic eco-program for biological improvement of lakes in the capital. The key tools were the granular bioactivator AVELIFE and a suspension of chlorella microalgae – a combination that first prepares the reservoir and then removes the main cause of water “blooming”: an excess of nutrients and an explosion of cyanobacteria growth. KP “Pleso” publicly reported on such work on lakes Zhandarka and Vira in the summer of 2025.
How AVELIFE works (in plain language)
AVELIFE is a bioactivator and sorbent made from natural materials (mineral base, biochar, amorphous silicon), biosurfactant and beneficial microflora (Rhodococcus erythropolis, Pseudomonas sp. PS-17). It stabilizes the biological balance of water, reduces organic load and helps avoid toxic effects of “blooming” (microcystins), while working in a wide range of pH and temperatures.
The technical recommendations for the drug describe this very “biobalancing” role: improving aeration, reducing organic pollution, reducing the risk of cyanobacterial toxins. This is ideally suited to the tasks of urban lakes.
Kyiv 2025 case: phased cleaning of lakes
Stage 1 — preparation of the reservoir by AVELIFE
On Lake Zhandarka, Pleso conducted two treatments with granulated AVELIFE, as officially reported by the company and local media. This prepared the reservoir for the next stage of biopurification.
Stage 2 – adding chlorella
After preparation, 300 liters of chlorella suspension, a natural tool that absorbs excess nitrogen and phosphorus and suppresses “blooming,” were added to the reservoir. Official announcements, videos, and reports were published about these works (in particular, the Facebook video “Pleso” and stories in the city media).
Locations and dates
Lake Vira (Svyatoshynskyi district): planned biotreatment using AVELIFE and chlorella – June 2025, with published footage of the process.
Lake Zhandarka (Darnytskyi district): two-stage biotreatment with AVELIFE and application of 300 liters of chlorella – June–August 2025; there are official notifications from the Pleso commune and the district administration.
What did these steps achieve?
City reviews and technology commentary document that a three-step scheme (mechanical + biological + AVELIFE and chlorella biopreparations) approximately halve the number of cyanobacteria during the peak “bloom” season, while improving the ecosystem of the reservoir. This is consistent with the action of AVELIFE described in the recommendations: reducing organic load and reducing the risk of toxic metabolites of blue-green algae.
Why this combination works
The bioactivator removes the “food base” for unwanted algae, balances the balance, and improves aeration.
Chlorella removes excess nitrogen/phosphorus, stabilizes phytoplankton, saturates water with oxygen — and is safe for the ecosystem.
Overall, this smoothly “readjusts” the ecosystem without the toxic shocks typical of purely chemical interventions (an emphasis emphasized by “Pleso”).
Safety and regulatory compliance
Recommendations for AVELIFE confirm:
the drug is non-toxic,
belongs to hazard class IV,
fire and explosion-proof,
biodegradable.
Requirements for production, storage and handling of the drug are consistent with current DSTU, DBN and sanitary standards.
Where to watch videos and public reports
KP “Pleso” regularly publishes videos and reports on the treatment of lakes (in particular, footage from Lake Vira). Official websites and Kyiv media confirm the phasing and scale of the work on Zhandarka and other bodies of water.
Conclusion.
Kyiv 2025 showed a working manual for cities: AVELIFE + chlorella is a “soft” biotechnological response to the summer “bloom” and organic overload of water bodies. First, preparation with AVELIFE, then targeted application of chlorella, and the result is fewer cyanobacteria, cleaner water, and a more stable ecosystem. This is not magic, but consistent ecological engineering, supported by the technical recommendations of the drug and confirmed by city practice.
Organic farming is not just about the environment or healthy eating. It is also an economic strategy that allows farmers to reduce costs, increase the added value of their products, and enter premium markets.
