NUTRIENT REMOVAL
Phosphate From Water

Phosphorus pollution is a critical environmental issue affecting water bodies worldwide. Excessive phosphorus from agricultural runoff, industrial discharges, and wastewater treatment plants leads to harmful algal blooms, which can devastate aquatic ecosystems, harm water quality, and pose significant health risks to humans and animals. These blooms deplete oxygen levels in water, killing fish and other marine life, and can produce toxins that contaminate drinking water sources.

The economic impact of phosphorus pollution is substantial, with costs associated with water treatment, loss of biodiversity, reduced tourism, and decreased property values near affected water bodies. Addressing this issue requires innovative solutions that not only remove phosphorus from water sources but also provide sustainable, long-term benefits.

Phosphorus pollution in water bodies is effectively addressed through the use of Poseidon Pellets, an innovative solution that captures and recycles phosphorus. This leads to improved water quality, prevention of harmful algal blooms, and the promotion of sustainable agricultural practices when the pellets are reused as a soil amendment.

The markets for this technology include farmers, who can manage runoff and recycle nutrients; municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, which achieve regulatory compliance more effectively; land and pond management, which benefit from cleaner water and healthier environments.

The effectiveness of Poseidon Pellets is measured by the key performance indicator (KPI) of pounds of phosphorus removed, demonstrating our commitment to tangible environmental improvements.

APPLICATIONS

Poseidon Pellets offer versatile solutions across multiple water management sectors. In wastewater treatment, they can effectively pre-treat and purify industrial and municipal effluents, enhancing the overall treatment process. For stormwater management, the pellets can be used to filter and treat runoff, reducing pollutants entering natural water bodies. In aquaculture, lakes, and ponds, they help maintain water quality by removing contaminants and promoting a healthier aquatic environment. For desalination, Poseidon Pellets aid in pre-treating seawater, improving the efficiency and longevity of desalination systems. Additionally, in agriculture, they can treat runoff water, minimizing nutrient and chemical pollution, and ensuring safer water re-entry into the ecosystem. These multifaceted applications demonstrate the pellets' capability to improve water quality and sustainability across various industries.
