Shaded Algae Mitigation (SAM)

Complete mitigation of Blue Green Algae with the SAM (Shaded Algae Mitigation)

Typical Microbial Community found with Floating Treatment Wetlands. Algal competitive Interaction algal blooms in waste water ponds or lakes can successfully be eliminated by the introduction of Floating Treatment Wetlands. Floating Treatment Wetlands create an ideal environment for the growth of sessile algae colonies. These directly compete with the pelagic (free-swimming) algae for the same nutrients. Pelagic algae expend a considerable proportion of their energy on adapting their position within the water column depending on the time of the day. Sessile algae don't have this same requirement, and can therefore more efficiently use the nutrients for growth.

The Floating Shaded Algal Mitigation System will not only compete for Blue Green Algae food source, but also its light requirements.
