Drive Out Nutrient Pollution

Our focus is to expand this platform to promote water quality. The challenges associated with nutrient management are compounding every year. We are building a portfolio of products and services that municipal and industrial wastewater treatment operators need, with the people who know how to solve nutrient management challenges.

Over the past 50 years, increased agricultural, storm-water, development, rainfall, and wastewater effluent have combined to produce a concentration of nutrients in downstream water bodies.

Excess nutrients can cause eutrophication and subsequent toxic algae blooms, resulting in loss of aquatic life, deteriorating human health and other environmental and economic damage.

The Environmental Protection Agency has named nutrient pollution “one of America’s most widespread, costly and challenging environmental problems,” with 53% of rivers, 71% of lake acres, 79% of estuary square miles and 98% of great lakes shoreline miles classified as impaired.
