COULD MITT FATE BLUE GREEN ALGAE. >> IT'S SUPER GREEN ALGAE AND YOU CAN SEE A DIFFERENCE TODAY TO CREATE AFLOW. >> INSIDE A CONTROLLED SYSTEM USED TO TREAT TOXIC BODIES OF WATER THEY STAY A LOT WATER AND IT'S RESIDUA. >> THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM OF TOXINS IMPORTING PERFECT JAPAN. AND. >> ABOUT IT COULD BE THE START TO RESTORING OUR WALT

Martin County looking into Nano Technology to eliminate blue green algae blooms

Thursday a water retention pond in Hobe Sound is serving as the testing grounds for a new technology that could mitigate blue green algae. Barry Hinton is Vice President of Blue Nano Technologies, a water remediation company that's looking to put an end to blue green algae blooms. Hinton and his team rolled in a trailer that carried an oxygen and controlled ozone injection system that is used to treat toxic bodies of water. "The bubbles that go in the water they stay in the water so the effectiveness of this disinfection system is very residual," Hinton said.Stuart resident and owner of Environmental Compliance Equipment, Andrew Hyatt said these microscopic bubbles traveled across the world. "We imported a technology from Japan called the Nano bubbles. Developed by a gentlemen name Satoshi Anzai," Hyatt said. If this technology is successful Dianne Huges, Environmental Coordinator for Martin County says this could be the start to restoring our waterways." It’s something that can be used at Port Mayaca to treat the algae out at the lake before it’s even discharged to the St. Lucie River and Estuary There were before and after water samples taken to see if the technology was successful. it will take a week before results come in.
