Why choose us
Our main goal is to stop talking about the problem, as we already started working on resourcing a solution
By now we have:
By now we have:
Resources the technological innovations that has a potential to address the issue
Technological solutions that are already developed.
Negotiated with the technological team that is available to work on this project
An international technological team led by a researcher with over 30-years experience of designing industrial water cleaning solutions for robust pollutants is ready to start working on the issue pertaining our ability to reserve their services in a timely manner by attracting proper financing and entering the agreement format.
The next steps are:
1. Resource contributions for setting up a proper vehicle to conduct the project, such as PBE (public benefit enterprise) or a non-profit and secure the operations expenses.
2. Clarify technical tasks and specifics of the the Red Tide and Algae Issues (this subject has been preliminary discussed and potential roadmap is estimated).
3. Organize site visit of the international technical team to study the situation in order to understand the point A (the state of water, input and output requirements) and potential points B's (ultimate outcome - ).
4. Commercial proposal will be provided after taking samples, gathering relevant information, conducting a feasibility study, designing solution and estimating the budgets if the solution will be confirmed to be feasible as preliminary estimated.
5. Financing and Implementation would be the last stages. Resourcing either commercial or state or financing, crowdfunding and/or any other potential options for a timely and effective implementation will be conducted.

What are the issues?
Algae and Red Tide are plaguing the water ways of Southwest Florida now spanning more than 100 miles of Florida's Gulf coast, killing marine life, sickening residents and tourists and harming businesses in the state.
"At the same time, blue-green algae is causing similar devastation from Lake Okeechobee to the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie rivers. As documented by Gainesville-based nature photographer John Moran in photos published today and last month in The Sun, the green slime coating waterways is nothing short of an environmental catastrophe." - The Gainsville Sun
Even though the direct influence of the pollution on the algae blooms and Red Tide is currently refused as it is being born 30-40 miles offshore, the supporting evidence considering that Red Tide can feed off the human pollutants is alarming.
"Data collected along the southwest coast of Florida between Tampa Bay and Sanibel Island on the abundance of the Red Tide from 1954 to 2002 were examined for spatial and temporal patterns. Red Tide was found to be approximately 20-fold more abundant within 0-5 km of the shoreline than 20-30 km offshore" - GreenMediaInfo

How are we different from others?
We have already done a groundwork by resourcing a potential solution. An international technological team led by a researcher with over 30-years experience of designing industrial water cleaning solutions for robust pollutants is ready to start working on the issue if we are able to reserve their services in a timely manner. The team is willing to assess the water issue we are having and design a solution, if possible, that would include implementing some of the world's most effective technologies that could assist in restoring Florida marine eco-system & make Florida thrive again!
Why modern solutions are ineffective?
Modern solutions are chemical, which is unacceptable for the eco-system. However, the water can be filtered through the filtration system currently available. At present stage of the filter, there is already a potential possibility of adressing the issue at hand, although new stages of even more effective filtering solutions are on the way.
The Technology
It's a patented technology of water, condensate and sewage cleaning for enterprises and municipalities. Some of the highlights are: it's about 20x more cost effective than analogues in operation, and with an unlimited lifetime of filters. The system offers significant reduction in the load on nature, as it does not require the use of chemical reagents for washing equipment. It can also be used for the used water recycling at enterprises and it's reducing the volume of discharges of washing water about 60x as compared to traditional filter systems.
What supporting studies have been done?
Several years ago, an experiment was conducted with water from a heavily polluted river. The water has been passed through the filtration system, left in the bottle container, and it did not blossom for a whole year when checked again.
The filtering solutions are operating for many years and case studies are being currently prepared.
Introducing this technology to the United States might become an essential factor on not only restoring the Florida eco-system, but gradually scaling it through the rest of the U.S.A. and the whole world.

Potential Solutions Framework
For the lakes and ponds, the water would be filtrated and discharged back into the eco-system.
For the sewer and plant dumps, the filtration systems could be designed and installed before entering the eco-system.
For coastal/marine areas, along the bottom of the coastal area, a pipeline would be installed to absorb water with the most intense Red-Tide areas into the filtration system. Water would be filtered through and descend back into the sea. Water will be cleaned from microorganisms and the coastal zone will be purified. The salt composition will remain the same to preserve the marine life.
This filtering system can be made mobile and the most contaminated areas will be addressed.
Complete technical requirements & feasibility analysis to be determined on site.
