"When it comes to the environment, the invisible hand never picks up the check." --Kim Stanley Robinson
.. Our approach to ending Harmful Algae Blooms is unique. We give pond scum a market value, as paraffin, and allow Adam Smith's 'Invisible Hand' to do the rest.. we began working on this a long time ago, when the first elements of the pattern began to emerge.. these blooms have increased in size & frequency, in both fresh and salt water, to become the 'new normal'..
our predictions have been accurate
both in time & place.. we know what to do.. we are ready..
WE CAN MAKE YOUR POND SCUM GO AWAY.... AND KEEP IT AWAY
Harmful Algae Blooms are a growing problem and will remain so until we find a way to prevent them we can live with. Right now we wait until a bloom becomes intolerable and then a public agency spends millions to clean up the damage. As these blooms become larger and more frequent, as they will, this will not be a sustainable strategy. We must find a way to interrupt the blooms before they can do any damage… and we must do it continuously. The question then is “who pays for that”? The answer is, the clean-up technology itself. Our VBShdl-2m20 Mobula robots produce $327 in revenue PER DAY. That is over $98,000 PER YEAR from a robot that barely costs that much. This is over & above any fees collected from public agencies to clean and/or prevent blooms. How? They convert the biomass of the bloom into paraffin wax, which sells commercially, in bulk, for $0.45 per pound… and the market is HUGE. It is used in the chemical industry, refining, food processing, agriculture, cosmetics & pharmaceuticals… a remediation that pays for itself …
.. at a profit.
Our process was tested by an independent laboratory. Algae from Toxic Blooms in Florida were run through our process. 100% of the Toxins were removed. The nutrient load in the water column was REDUCED by 50%.. WITHOUT ANY CHEMICALS OR WASTE STREAMS WHATSOEVER. However, it isn't the nutrient load, per se, that causes the bloom. The bloom also requires CO2 in the water column. Our Manatees are the only remediation technology that also gets to the root cause. The results are available to qualified parties upon request.

Our robots are powered by the wind & sun. They eat algae and turn it into paraffin like a meta-organism. One of the misconceptions about our robots is that they are like a ROOMBA.. they are not.. they actually run between 20% and 30% of the time because they 'live' off the available energy only, just like the algae does.. they move toward a bloom and then 'graze' on it .. until a larger bloom appears.. where they move again..
