As humans we will continue to pollute our environment and research shows that toxic algae bloom incidents around the world are increasing at an alarming rate. Our nanotechnology has a unique opportunity to combat these global outbreaks and save our waterways with a natural solution. Read on to learn about the past and future direction of this breakthrough technology.
Most proposed solutions include reducing local pollution, nutrient load, and surface runoff of fertilizer used by local farmers. But let’s be honest, as long as we need more food at reasonable prices, fertilizer runoff and nutrient pollution will continue. Farmers aren’t to blame for excess nutrients; we hold them to double standards of maximizing efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.
The fourth generation of this patented nano-silica-based micronutrient formula was invented by Sampath Kumar over 10 years ago for complete nutrition in an aquaculture setting with either fresh or sea water.
Originally created for use in shrimp farms with these benefits:
With more than a decade of research outside of the United States and numerous toxicology reports proving the environmentally friendliness of Nualgi in Indian lakes and rivers, this year it was time to bring the innovation to the mainstream. Researchers began to inquire about using this nanotechnology for larger-scale environmental clean up efforts and other benefits beyond improved water quality for fish production.
Nualgi has the potential for eliminating water pollution and harmful toxic algae in our lakes, rivers, bays, and oceans but government adoption of new technology can be slow. The opposite has been true with consumers across the world with algae or water quality problems in their home aquatic systems so we attempted to raise the research funds through crowd funding on Kickstarter.
It has been one year since launching and there are many positive testimonials that show the value of this technology. Our US based team has started thousands of trials across the world with Nualgi Ponds and Nualgi Aquarium users to balance their ecosystems while achieving crystal clear water.
As we search for other channels to conduct this vital aquaculture research we will continue to improve on our products, their dosing instructions, and learn from the community about their individual experiences with Nualgi.
In to the future we will continue to support clean water initiatives through awareness activities and organizational partnerships.
We see many possibilities for new uses of this breakthrough nanotechnology:
Over the last month we’ve made new friends in aquaculture innovation with some opportunities to work with developing countries. Organizations like @ProAquacultureAfrica are working to create Aquaculture facilities that will alleviate poverty through better nutrition.
We are excited to explore health improvement of these communities with Aquaculture using Nualgi as a tool for higher protein production and less disease in catfish farms. Please contact us if you are interested in a future partnership with Nualgi.
