Innovative Solutions & Practical Applications to Restore Waterways

Solutions & Applications

At Clear Waterways Group, we believe water quality solutions must be effective, sustainable, and scalable. The Aqua Clarifier Water System is our patented water clarification system designed to tackle the most pressing challenges facing waterways today — from harmful algal blooms (HABs) and nutrient pollution to bacteria, oil, grease, and suspended solids.

🌊Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)

The Aqua Clarifier Water System combats toxic blooms by removing both floating and submerged algae from the water column. It operates in:

  • Air-Only Mode – During active blooms, dissolved air flotation (DAF) removes algae and suspended solids effectively without chemicals.
  • Low-Dose Chemistry Mode – In non-bloom conditions, a safe, potable-grade coagulant can be used to intercept hidden nutrients before they trigger new blooms.

👉 All chemistry is applied only within the Aqua Clarifier Water System, never directly into the lake or pond, and is fully removed onboard with the captured solids.

Bacterial Contamination

The Aqua Clarifier Water System also removes bacteria and microbial contaminants that degrade water quality, pose public health risks, and cause costly beach closures. Applications include:

  • Beaches and swimming areas where bacterial pollution leads to shutdowns.
  • Stormwater outfalls after heavy rains.
  • Tributaries introducing bacteria into lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.

🌊 Nutrient Pollution

Excess nitrogen and phosphorus are the leading cause of HABs and water quality decline nationwide. The Aqua Clarifier Water System intercepts nutrients at:

  • Tributaries and inflows before they reach open water.
  • Marinas, coves, and nearshore areas where pollutants concentrate.

Drinking Water Reservoir Protection

Surface water supplies are increasingly vulnerable to nutrient-driven HABs and bacteria. The Aqua Clarifier Water Clarification System provides:

  • Proactive interception of nutrients and bacteria upstream of drinking water intakes.
  • Use of potable-grade chemistry already approved for municipal water treatment.

Industrial & Municipal Applications

The Aqua Clarifier Water System is versatile beyond HABs and nutrients. It can also remove:

  • Oil and grease from marinas and ports.
  • Bacteria from stormwater and polluted inflows.
  • Suspended solids from construction runoff or combined sewer overflows (CSOs).

🌊 Emergency Response

Because it is portable and self-contained, the Aqua Clarifier Water System can be rapidly deployed for:

  • Sudden HAB outbreaks.
  • Storm-driven bacterial surges.
  • Localized spills or contamination events.

Future Resource Recovery & Circular Economy

Looking forward, larger-scale Aqua Clarifier Water System — or fleets of units working in series — can help communities transition toward sustainable water management by:

  • Harvesting algae for fertilizer, soil amendment, and bioenergy.
  • Capturing bacteria and solids for safe disposal.
  • Generating nutrient trading credits and carbon credits through verified pollutant and carbon removal.
