In 2021, Lance Schideman PhD wrote a paper, titled ‘Improving the Productivity and Performance of Large-Scale Algal Systems for Wastewater Treatment and Biofuel Production‘. In The DOE (Department of Energy) grant is an acknowledgement of the benefits of Algaewheel technology.
Abstract Current global environmental issues raise unavoidable challenges for our use of natural resources. Supplying the human population with clean water is becoming a global problem. Numerous organic and inorganic impurities in municipal, industrial, and agricultural waters, ranging from microplastics to high nutrient loads and heavy metals, endanger our nutrition and health. The development of…

Algaewheel was recently used in a study of algal-prokaryotic wastewater treatments, written by Meng Wang et al and published in the Journal of Environmental Management. The paper examined how algae can be used to treat wastewater, with a particular focus on nitrogen removal.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has recently included Algaewheel in its round-up of new technologies currently innovating the water sector. Algaewheel was featured in the ‘Improving Performance of Small Systems’ category, with the following description: Algae-Based Wastewater Treatment The Indiana Department of Natural Resources worked with Commonwealth Engineers, Inc. and One Water Group to…
