This project was implemented at the Maryland Port Administration’s Dundalk Marine Terminal and uses the power of algae driven by photosynthesis to efficiently remove nutrients and other pollutants from impaired water sources. After regular harvesting of the algal biomass, attached filamentous algae rapidly re-grow on the horizontal thin screen media, and as an added benefit the photosynthetic activity injects high levels of dissolved oxygen into receiving waters.
