Hazardous algae blooms left unchecked can destroy an ecosystem by removing the dissolved oxygen in the water which fish and other organisms rely on to live. This creates a dead zone where nothing can live or thrive.
Nutrient pollution is also driving explosive invasive aquatic plants such as water hyacinth and the giant salvinia. These plants out-compete native plant species and completely take over lakes. Blocking sunlight for the animals and plants that normally rely on its energy to live.
Hazardous algae blooms are toxic and can cause severe health issues for people and can be fatal for animals. Not only is hazardous algae blooms unsafe to be around but they also stink and can be unsightly.
Although invasive aquatic plants can at first look beautiful with their flowers, it quickly looses its charm when it fouls up your boat propeller making it impossible to move. Not only that but during times of drought they use absorb a lot of precious water that is needed by the community.
Hazardous algae blooms create increased costs for our communities that rely on these waterbodies for water. Cost such as having to use more chemicals to treat the water, an increase in maintenance costs to keep the water intake structures open and clear.
Operators that maintain lakes must act quickly once a bloom or invasive plant is spotted often having to resort to toxic herbicides and algaecides to prevent a problem from spiraling and becoming uncontrollable.
We are a service based company that is able to offer a turn-key nutrient capture service to water districts and communities that require a phosphorus solution.
Our guiding principle is the K.I.S.S. approach by designing our filtration systems & processes so that they are;
