HydroMentia provides specialized technology support for the planning, layout, and implementation of Algal Turf Scrubber® and managed aquatic plant treatment systems. This support is based on decades of experience developing, designing, operating, and evaluating full-scale and pilot-scale ATS facilities.
Most new projects are implemented through partnerships with engineering firms, utilities, agencies, and project owners. HydroMentia’s role is typically to provide ATS-specific expertise, including conceptual facility layout, process design input, performance modeling, hydraulic loading guidance, harvesting and solids management considerations, and review of design concepts developed by the project engineering team.
Because ATS systems are specialized treatment technologies, many engineering teams benefit from HydroMentia’s experience with floway configuration, nutrient removal performance, biomass recovery, operational access, and long-term maintenance requirements. HydroMentia can help translate project goals, source-water characteristics, site constraints, and treatment objectives into practical ATS design criteria.
Detailed engineering services, including site investigations, geotechnical evaluation, civil design, structural design, pumping systems, electrical design, permitting, construction documents, and engineer-of-record responsibilities are typically provided by licensed professional engineering firms working with the project owner. HydroMentia supports these teams as an ATS technology consultant.
This collaborative approach allows project owners and engineers to combine local engineering, permitting, and construction expertise with HydroMentia’s specialized knowledge of ATS treatment systems.
