Harmful algal blooms are a challenging problem that has impacted human and animal health, aquatic ecosystems and the economy of all 50 states. ERDC researchers and collaborators from Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and AECOM recently executed a pilot scale research demonstration project to assess the performance and scalability of a new system for removing and disposing blue-green algae from large water bodies. It’s called the Harmful Algal Bloom Interception, Treatment, and Transformation System, or HABITATS, and has shown promising results in breaking down algae and its toxins into useful products such as biofuels and fertilizer - using a process called hydrothermal liquefaction.
