Water Warriors Inc. - Access to the Federal EPA labs and scientists thru CRADA agreement

Water Warriors Inc. is a water treatment company that has developed a specialized technology known as Poseidon Pellets to address nutrient pollution. These patent-pending pellets are designed to adsorb phosphorus and ammonia from water upon contact. The process involves submerging the pellets—housed in plastic baskets, mesh bags, or tubular structures—into water bodies or treatment systems, allowing the water to flow through the material while leaving the contaminants behind. Once the pellets reach their nutrient capacity, they can be repurposed as a slow-release fertilizer, representing a circular economy approach to managing agricultural runoff, stormwater, and wastewater. The development of this technology is supported by a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

This solution provides a scalable and cost-effective method for restoring waterways, mitigating the risks of eutrophication, and preventing toxic algae blooms. By removing harmful contaminants and transforming them into a beneficial agricultural resource, Water Warriors offers an alternative for farmers, municipalities, and industrial clients facing challenges in nutrient removal. The company has demonstrated its commitment to water health through various industry recognitions, such as being a finalist in the 2020 Ocean Impact Organisation Pitchfest, and continues to expand its development efforts through ongoing partnerships and research initiatives aimed at improving adsorption capabilities for nitrogen and ammonia.
