Why use alum when Ferrate is proven safer and better?
Florida continues to struggle with controlling nutrient inputs to our fresh and marine waters, and HABs are increasing in periodicity and intensity. Scientists have been studying the excessive buildup of algae in Florida waters for years, and they have progressed to the point that numerical estimates have now been made about nutrient limitations required to prevent excessive algal growth.

The FDEP has just begun its review of the Basin Management Action Plans (BMAP) for the State of Florida, which were issued five years ago.

Impoundment of nutrient rich water from agricultural runoff, or wastewater treatment plant effluent has evolved as the only acceptable treatment scenario to prevent disastrous algal and bacterial blooms in Florida.
