SHARE
The Sargasso : an environmental scourge to the dramatic consequences affecting the whole of the Caribbean. Sargasso is floating algae floating on thousands of kilometres that end up aground mainly on the sides of the Caribbean area with the Mexico. These gigantic strandings create many disorders : Sanitary facilities: As for example respiratory genes related to the release of H2S from the decomposition of the algae. Ecological: Wildlife in impacting the reproduction of some species like turtles or on corals by eutrophication. Economic: Because the accumulation of algae on the beaches was a major problem for tourism exploitation. The fishing and aquaculture sectors are also affected.

Limited visual pollution because we have retained for the final barriers blue that integrates with the landscape

Transport of the barrier in only 2 40 “containers for 7 km long.
They are flexible since inflatable.
Our need for surface of storage is limited to 50 m²
For the maintenance of 7 km, two employees can daily carry out complete control. Details of the procedure of control following.
If necessary we can clean daily the 7 km of barriers with two employees. Details of the following cleaning procedure.
One of the advantages of a flexible, inflatable system is to be safe. Our inflatable gates are safe for swimmers and boats as well as for their passengers in a collision with the dam.
In summary our barriers have incomparable advantages, their anchor system, their weight, their volume, the ease of dismantling at sea, storage ashore and discount in place, make a product unique and effective. We are only able to offer the disassembly and complete in storage 3 to 4 days of the gate with a small team at the announcement of an imminent cyclone.

Our barge of pickup is not comparable to existing systems that can be found on the net and have a capacity of collection of 20 to 30 tons per day to the more efficient. The purpose of these proposals still remaining to get rid of the Sargasso Sea on the ground, letting them rot and so pollute a land area.

In the procedure developed by AlgeaNova we collect algae clean and fresh before their stranding, Thus we protect and preserve the beaches. After their unloading on our site of treatment, We dry them in our specially designed environmental dryers and running practically only using natural resources.

When these algae are dry we grind them to a powder that we turn into bioplastic. “Say more about our processes of drying and processing would be disclose our trade secret.”

For the maintenance of barriers we applied to find solutions to reduce costs and the time of labor. For the maintenance and cleaning of our barriers 2 employees are sufficient. We studied and developed a jet ski equipped with brushes and pumps high pressure to wash the barrier. At the same time operators check if an item is deflated and in this case, They rebound with the compressor that is on board. If the item is damaged they replace it immediately in 15/20 minutes.

The speed of cleaning is more than 1,5 to 2 km per hour is 3 to 5 hours to wash properly the 7 km of fence, on the surface for the float and underwater for the net from a height of 1 meter.

We believe that the frequency of cleaning is not necessary more than one to two times a week maximum.

In summary, the days of maintenance of the fence the duo of maintenance, will carry out the cleaning and maintenance of 7 km in 6 to 7 hours only. For days without cleaning less than a half day will largely suffice.
