Many critical habitats and waterways are in remote locations, posing a challenge for cleanup efforts when electricity is required. Alternative energy sources now make it possible to bring the benefits of new technology and solutions into these areas. Solar power is a key energy option for...
Quagga and zebra mussels are a huge and continually growing problem in freshwater lakes and waterways. Since their introduction to the U.S. in the 1980s, the National Wildlife Foundation notes the mussels have spread to 29 states. These small mussels have a big effect on the...
Among the most stubborn pollutants in today’s waterways are diesel and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). It can take years for these contaminants to break down naturally once they enter the water. New evidence shows that the KRIA Ionizer with EcoSOAR technology reduces diesel and PCB while also...
Every year, harmful algal blooms and spikes in cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, close beaches and lakes, and impair waterways. Previous installations showed that the KRIA Ionizer with EcoSOAR™ technology could help return polluted waterways to a clean, healthy state by breaking down pollutants into...
The KRIA Ionizer is a machine whose EcoSOAR™ technology produces superoxide to clean the water column and sediment. Here are seven things you need to know about this technology. 1. The KRIA Ionizer creates superoxide (SO) and injects those molecules into the water column. This concentrated...
Superoxide (SO) is an advanced oxidative procedure that’s effective against a wide variety of pollutants. This includes all organic pollution, anaerobic bacteria, viruses, cyanobacteria (aka blue-green algae), and many metals. The category called organic covers many of the pollutants that plague our modern waterways, such...
The last decade has seen a rapid increase of cyanobacteria – popularly known as blue-green algae – in the world’s waterways. The largest cause of cyanobacteria is high levels of nutrients like phosphates and nitrogen, which provide the energy that fuels its growth. Runoff from...
An intriguing new area in the world of water purification over the last few years is called advanced oxidation processes (AOP). This term involves new forms of oxidation to clean water, such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and better methods of aeration. The newest, most advanced AOP...
