NuQuatic was visioned by its founding shareholders to be a force for the collective good of current and future generations. The global clean water crisis has created a generational opportunity to reset water quality standards. With a committed investor group, a passionate workforce, and cutting-edge proprietary technology, we are uniquely positioned to lead the charge for clean water and set the standards high to restore & protect clean water for generations to come. We envision a world where clean water is universal.

Nutrient Remediation – The Beginning

NuQuatic was launched in 2016 as Phosphorus Free Water Solutions to provide solutions to the emerging toxicity found in our Nation’s surface waters as a consequence of human overloading of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) into these waters. An overloading of nutrients, primarily phosphorus, promotes excessive vegetation growth and harmful algae blooms which compete for and deplete the available oxygen in surface waters for fish and other aquatic species. Florida, with its subtropical climate, is particularly impacted by algae blooms which in addition to environmental damage are responsible for billions of dollars in lost tourism revenues. Thus, Florida became the launch point for NuQuatic’s innovation and commercial activities focused on commercializing the removal of phosphorus from surface waters. Full scale projects include

Lake Apopka Phosphorus Remediation Facility. NuQuatic’s maiden phosphorus treatment facility, a bold demonstration of NuQuatic’s indomitable spirit, was the establishment of a 7,000 GPM greenfield facility built in the middle of Florida swampland 1 mile from the shore of Lake Apopka, Florida’s second largest lake. This facility during its 4 years of operation removed hundreds of tons of phosphorus, produced treated effluent water below 20 parts per billion (PPB) and achieved this public client’s goal of reducing overall Lake phosphorus levels below 50 PPB.

Piney Point Emergency Response Phosphorus and Nitrogen Facility. NuQuatic’s second commercial facility, the remediation and treatment of 800 million gallons of toxic phosphate fertilizer production process or stack water, was unscheduled and unplanned. Easter weekend of 2021 disaster loomed over Tampa Bay where a containment facility housed 800 million gallons of phosphate process water was failing and threatening to dump its toxic contents into the pristine Gulf waters of Tampa Bay. Responding to the emergency call of the Florida DEP and the EPA, NuQuatic mobilized within hours and commenced the rapid construction and deployment of a 1,000 GPM phosphorus and nitrogen treatment facility that utilized NuQuatic’s newly created galvanic and electrolytic processes directed to treat phosphorus and nitrogen. The project was a resounding success with NuQuatic successfully treating this toxic water to a level where it could be safely discharged after meeting all state and federal surface water discharge requirements. In the course of our work at this site, NuQuatic removed over 300 tons of phosphorus and 350 tons of nitrogen from the stack waters.

Lake Okeechobee 6,000 GPM Treatment Facility. NuQuatic’s third phosphorus treatment facility was established on the northern shore of Lake Okeechobee, Florida’s largest lake and primary fresh water source for southern Florida. The facility was established in 2024 and was able to produce effluent waters which met the goals of the client. However, phosphorus influent levels proved to be much, much lower than historical and project planned for levels. It is believed the severe drought in Florida for much of 2025 depressed phosphorus run off into the Lake. The project was terminated early due to the lack of available phosphorus for removal.

A Journey of Innovation

NuQuatic was founded on innovation and is driven to create and advance technologies which address the water quality challenges of our times. In our short history we have modified and refined existing technologies to make them fit for purpose, created entirely new technology platforms when a better and necessary solution was required, and expanded the scope of contaminants suitable for treatment with NuQuatic technology platforms. We have done so with the constant goal of making our treatment processes ever more efficient, effective and affordable.

Our journey began when we procured license rights to two technology platforms, one which oxidized phosphorus and the second which sequestered it. As we progressed, we discovered a more efficacious and affordable treatment process utilizing conventional methods in a unique way. This was the process deployed at our Lake Apopka facility.

In 2018, fortune favored NuQuatic when Dr. Carlos Borras joined our team. Leveraging Dr. Borras’ unique knowledge and insights in the field of physical and electrochemistry, NuQuatic pivoted to a new, more robust, versatile, and dynamic water treatment technology platform: the galvanic process. The galvanic process was successfully implemented at the Piney Point emergency response, and over the next four years a steady stream of innovation on system and application development followed.

This work culminated in 2022 with the realization that aspects of NuQuatic’s technology platform had unique efficacy in treating PFAS, or the forever chemicals. These chemicals have been identified by the EPA and state environmental agencies as a top threat to clean water, which even in microquantities pose serious threats to public health. The US geological society has estimated that 45% of the nation’s tap water contains PFAS. With regulatory focus on PFAS and the applicability of NuQuatic’s technology platform to the treatment and destruction, NuQuatic’s R&D focus since 2022 has been on PFAS. Over the next 3 years under the direction of Dr. Borras, NuQuatic invented, developed, and patented a robust closed-loop continuous flow PFAS removal, concentration, and destruction process. This patented process holds the promise of achieving the aspirational treatment goals of the EPA while dramatically bending the PFAS treatment cost curve. Our team of scientists is focused on advancing NuQuatic’s technologies, fortified in the hope that their work will yield essential benefit to all life on our precious planet.

The Next Chapter

As 2025 came to a close, NuQuatic, in recognition of the enormous opportunity for its proprietary PFAS treatment process, relocated its corporate and R&D headquarters to the Detroit, Michigan, metro area. This strategic decision will provide NuQuatic better access to the technical talent and market expertise needed in the upcoming months and years to fully unlock the potential of its PFAS remediation technologies. Our accomplishments of 2025 have been noticed, and projects for field demonstrations are building while plans for permanent facility installations are taking shape. For the first time, the hope of an effective and affordable treatment for PFAS water contamination may be at hand. Join us as our journey continues.
