NanoHaven technology selected for SBIR Phase 1 innovation award

6/29/2021

We are pleased to announce that FII has been selected for a Dept. of Energy SETO Phase One SBIR grant award. The grant’s purpose is to develop and test a technology that will oxygenate nutrient-impaired water in off-grid settings.

Gas bubbles are released from the bottom of a pond when a snorkeler, whose hand is in the picture, disturbs the muck at the bottom

Gases released from the sediments may include methane when the water is impaired to the point of being starved of oxygen

FII conceptualized the “NanoHaven” embodiment that will meet this goal and will develop and test it with the support of this pending award from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office. Note that nutrient impaired water is a major source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that oxygenation will prevent, so a key component of our commercialization of this system will be related to climate change impact.

It is almost 50 years since the Clean Water Act so why is water more polluted than ever?

The lake in the photo is covered by a green carpet of algae, which could turn into a harmful algae bloom in the right (wrong) conditions

The incidence of Harmful Algae Blooms is growing, in pandemic proportions.

Today as the entire planet battles a viral pandemic, it’s fitting that we consider water and the evolutionary forces it faces. Clean water is at the heart of the mission of Floating Island International.

The Clean Water Act(s), in place since October 1972, gave us clear direction, and blatant contaminant pollution became forbidden.
