About us

Engineering background. Local presence.

EFS Bioremedia DOO is the Serbian subsidiary of Iszapfaló Kft. Our mission is simple: to bring life back to water bodies burdened by sludge, eutrophication and human impact — through biological treatment combined, where needed, with mechanical sludge removal, and continuous monitoring.

01 · Story

From one lake to twelve projects

Iszapfaló Kft. was founded in 2006 in Gödöllő (Hungary) with the idea that sludge should not be treated as waste, but as a resource that can be stabilized, dehydrated and safely reintegrated into the ecosystem.

Over the following two decades we developed specialized machinery for shallow waters, built on-site dewatering systems, and worked with universities to develop an open biological treatment cycle. In 2017 we built our first automated dredger, and in 2022 we moved into a new workshop where we can run complex production processes — including our own sewing facility, optimized for heavy-duty geotextiles.

We founded EFS Bioremedia DOO as our Serbian subsidiary because we recognized that northern Vojvodina — with its shallow, eutrophic lakes and worsening water scarcity — requires local presence and local understanding. Palić, Ludaš, Bezdan and many smaller lakes face the same challenges as Bácska and Hortobágy on the other side of the border.

Four things we believe in

01

Biology before mechanics

Before we bring out the dredger, we ask: can the ecosystem restore its balance with the right help? In many cases the answer is yes. But when mechanical sludge removal is needed, we have the capacity for that too.

02

Measurable, not marketing

Every project starts and ends with measurement. Dissolved oxygen, pH, chlorophyll-a, total phosphorus and nitrogen, sludge thickness — without these numbers there's nothing to say about success.

03

Local knowledge, regional network

A small team in Subotica, but behind us are partners in Hungary, Croatia and Germany. We bring the experience of four countries to your site.

04

Continuous expert advice

Monitoring, optimization, annual review — all included in the first-year price. After treatment we regularly help and advise based on the data — you call us when you have a question, we call you when we see a problem.

03 · Partners

Whom we work with

Water management companies, conservation institutions and universities.

  • JVP Vode Vojvodine — water management
  • Park Palić DOO
  • Forestry Institute, Belgrade
  • University of Novi Sad — Faculty of Agriculture
  • University of Szeged

04 · Two names behind the work

Leadership and direction

We don't do team portraits — but two names are worth highlighting, because they shape how we work and who you can turn to.
