BlueInGreen® Receives Funding from National Science Foundation for Oil Spill Clean Up in the Gulf of Mexico

BlueInGreen's SDOX®, a high efficiency dissolved oxygen delivery technology, is ideally suited to support bioremediation and restore oyster beds/other wildlife habitats in the Gulf. The Rapid Response Program at the National Science Foundation has provided funding to deploy SDOX® technology in bays and estuaries that have been contaminated from the Horizon Oil Spill.

BlueInGreen® is in the third year of a project funded by the National Science Foundation entitled, "A Portable Dissolved Oxygen Delivery System for Rapid Treatment of Organic Spills." SDOX® has the unique ability to deliver high concentrations of dissolved oxygen to both shallow and deep bodies of water. SDOX® is most cost effective at maintaining dissolved oxygen concentrations from 3 mg/L to saturation and can maintain these concentrations in waters with a very high biological oxygen demand, such as would occur following an oil spill, excessive use of fertilizers, or other contaminating event. The use of SDOX® for remediation of water bodies polluted with organics has the following key benefits:

Delivery of dissolved oxygen to targeted water layers (from the bottom to the surface and any point in between).

Efficient addition of dissolved oxygen to shallow areas and estuaries along a shoreline.

Maintenance of aerobic conditions for rapid microbial digestion of excess organics (oil, algae, animal waste/litter, detritus, etc.).

Formation of oxygen refugia for aquatic life threatened by low dissolved oxygen caused by a spill of organics.

Portable SDOX® units allow for targeted dissolved oxygen delivery to a specific location along the shore or deployment from a boat/barge that can travel with a plume of organics as it moves with the current.

Lack of formation of oxygen bubbles that rise through the water column. The dissolved oxygen stays in the layer of water to which it is delivered.

Injection of dissolved oxygen at the same temperature as water being treated. No buoyancy currents are formed and the dissolved oxygen plume remains at the injection site.
