Water Warriors Inc. offers a circular economy solution to phosphorus and nitrogen pollution. Their flagship product, Poseidon Pellets, absorb phosphorus and ammonia on contact, improving water quality and reducing toxic algae blooms. Once the pellets reach nutrient capacity, they can be used as fertilizer, returning the phosphorus to the land and reducing reliance on unsustainable sources of fertilizer. The two primary markets for Waste Warriors are currently farmers (addressing agricultural runoff) and wastewater treatment plants.
Take a Deep Dive
Mission: To provide a technology that absorbs harmful contaminants, such as phosphorus and ammonia, to restore our waterways.
Solution: High levels of concentrated phosphorus, often used in fertilizers, enter waterways through agricultural runoff. When a water source has too much algae it can result in toxic algae blooms, in a process called eutrophication, and can lead to a number of environmental issues for waterways and the ocean. Water Warriors has developed a circular economy solution. Their flagship product, Poseidon Pellets, absorb phosphorus and ammonia on contact, improving water quality and reducing toxicity. Once the pellet reaches nutrient capacity, it can then be used as fertilizer, returning the phosphorus to the land and re-using this resource. The pellets are chemical free, affordable and reusable.
