Desert Reclamation Choices

Apply Clay Nano Flakes once and achieve permanent benefits from the soil

1.    Clay Nano Flakes

Our patented invention, Clay Nano Flakes, is homogenizing the clay into individual flakes in water. Clay Nano Flakes gives one control of the wind erosion, water consumption reduced with 50%, enhanced germination, increased yield, and control of the global temperature.

With Clay Nano Flakes there is just one needed operation:

Let us do a turnkey treatment of your desert area with the Clay Nano Flakes by watering this onto the sandy soils and the basic reclamation is done.

The Clay Nano Flakes are giving the soil the following benefits:

-        A much lower consumption of clay. By using Clay Nano Flakes the requirement of clay has been reduced to approximately 16% or less of the previous study, when applying it to the same depth;

-             Higher sorption capacity (minimize water loses through evaporation and deep percolation);

-             Higher cat-ion exchange capacity;

-             Higher swelling and bonding capacity;

-             Higher plasticity;

-             Provide the growing plants with nutrients;

-            Expected to give up to 176% higher yield using up to 50% less water.

2.   The possibilities with Clay Nano Flakes

2.1    Giving 99% reduction of the wind erosion with velocities of up to 27 m/s, according to the verification tests described in item 3.

2.2      By applying  Clay Nano Flakes in fine dune sand with 2 litres per m² ground results in a penetration depth of 10 mm.

-    Depending on mixture the  a surface strength can be modified from barely binding to of 1 kg per cm²

Fixating the sand increases the growth of plants and trees and gives less CO₂ to the atmosphere and gives lower the temperature in the area.

2.3  Saving up to 50% of water (in fine dune sand) in the agricultural watering systems and giving 100% germination of the seeds: (Apply Clay Nano Flakes once to achieve the permanent savings)

-              A plant root layer of 100 mm demand:  Clay Nano Flakes and 10 litre per m2

-              A plant root layer of 400 mm demand:  Clay Nano Flakes and 43 litre per m2.

2.4       The combination is possible too. First apply the Clay Nano Flakes for saving water and afterwards the Clay Nano Flakes for controlling the sand movement.

3.    Verification tests have been performed by Desert Research Center, Cairo, Egypt, April 2006. Reports of the tests are available upon request.

4.   Background of clay for soil improvement:

Sandy soils are well known as being droughty, erodible, infertile and non-economical to develop. Research up to and including 1987 with natural clay as a soil conditioner resulted in successfully results with up to 176% higher yield using up to 50% less water.

However, the clay conditioner gave no binding of the sand-particles versus sand movement and proved to be too expensive to apply in the field due to the high costs of the mechanical work required (large amount of clay, intensive ploughing plus watering).

Report of the above researches is available upon request: ‘Sandy Soil Reclamation’ performed by Academy of Scientific Research and Technology. 1987.
