The Hawaiian Limu Turf Scrubber Solution

Reef Power is working to realize the Maui Sustainable Reuse Pilot (MSRP) to demonstrate cost-effective ecologically engineered recycling of nutrient pollution from R-1 water into agriculture by growing native Hawaiian freshwater stream macroalgae limu in a human made stream bed system called an algal turf scrubber.

Reef Power LLC has received approval from the County of Maui for our Initial Application to receive R-1 reuse wastewater and demonstrate our test agroforest growing natives.

Reef Power is engaged in permit application activities associated with a demonstration pilot to grow native Hawaiian stream macroalgae limu in a test turf scrubber, to polish nutrient pollution from R-1 reuse water before discharge into a test native Hawaiian tree and groundcover plant species greenbelt forest.

Native Hawaiian freshwater limu species found in Maui streams hold the key to solving wastewater problems.
