Harmful algal blooms are a challenging problem that has impacted human and animal health, aquatic ecosystems and the economy of all 50 states. ERDC researchers and their partners are studying and improving a method for removing and disposing blue-green algae from large water bodies. It’s called the Harmful Algal Bloom Interception, Treatment, and Transformation System, or HABITATS, and has shown promising results in removing and then breaking down algae and toxins into useful products such as biofuels and fertilizer - using a process called hydrothermal liquefaction. USACE is sensitive to the fact that harmful algal blooms (HAB) are an increasing health concern and is reviewing options to decrease the probability of having to make releases when HABs are present on the lake.
