ClearE8: Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) Technology for Harmful Algae Remediation and Clean Water Solutions
The Growing Threat of Algae to Clean Water Systems
Harmful algae blooms are increasing worldwide as nutrient-rich agricultural runoff and rising water temperatures fuel explosive biological growth [1], [2]. These blooms pose a serious threat to healthy, clean water, contaminating drinking water sources and damaging aquatic ecosystems. A notable example occurred in 2014 when a toxic bloom in Lake Erie forced a two-day “do not drink” advisory, cutting off water access for more than 500,000 residents in Toledo, Ohio [3].
As algae proliferate, they release cyanotoxins that cause acute illness and mortality in humans, pets, and wildlife [4], [5]. Wind and wave action can aerosolize algal cells and toxins, degrading air quality and triggering respiratory distress [6]. Conventional chemical and mechanical controls often rupture algal cells, releasing additional toxins and complicating remediation efforts [7]. Without effective intervention, these blooms devastate fisheries, disrupt tourism, and permanently strain municipal and industrial water systems.
ClearE8 Solutions for Clean Water and Algae Remediation
ClearE8 systems are purpose-built to restore healthy, clean water by addressing the root causes of algae contamination. Using proprietary ozone nanobubble generation, ClearE8 delivers powerful Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) technology that destroys pathogens—including bacteria, viruses, molds, and cyanotoxins—without introducing harmful residual chemicals.
At the molecular level, ClearE8’s Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) technology “shreds” contaminants through oxidation. The by-products of this process are naturally occurring compounds such as oxygen (O₂), water (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and nitrogen (N₂). In addition, the process significantly increases dissolved oxygen levels, leaving water biologically balanced, oxygen-rich, and demonstrably healthy, clean water.
Proven Remediation of Harmful Algae Blooms
When deployed for algae remediation, ClearE8 systems eliminate both algal biomass and the cyanotoxins released when organisms are destroyed. This dual-action approach differentiates ClearE8 from traditional treatments and ensures complete remediation rather than partial control. Streams, rivers, lakes, and coastal waters are restored to their natural equilibrium by reducing algal concentrations, increasing dissolved oxygen, and supporting the recovery of resilient aquatic ecosystems.
By applying Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) technology directly to affected water bodies, ClearE8 enables long-term water quality improvement while protecting fisheries, drinking water supplies, and recreational resources that depend on healthy, clean water.
Water Reuse and Sustainability Through Advanced Oxidation
ClearE8 systems also support sustainable water management by enabling safe water recycling and reuse. By reducing reliance on chemical additives and minimizing waste discharge, ClearE8 aligns with environmental stewardship goals while delivering consistent remediation performance.
At the core of the system is ozone, a highly reactive oxidant that supercharges the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) technology. Oxidation is the same natural mechanism Mother Nature uses to cleanse the environment. Through multiple, integrated AOP reactions, ClearE8 removes and solubilizes complex organics and chemical contaminants, improving water clarity, color, taste, and odor—resulting in truly healthy, clean water.
