Dr Simon Tannock is a co-founder and Director of AlgaEnviro. With a Master's degree in Biotechnology of diatom algae cultivation and a PhD in wastewater treatment Simon is well versed in algae and wastewater processes.
During his time at University of Queensland, Simon won several awards in innovation competitions for the invention of a wind energy drivetrain mechanism, an algae bioreactor mixing system and an algae culture bag coupling.
Some of Simon's other innovations have been the driving force behind AlgaEnviro's product range. As a co-founder of AlgaEnviro Pty Ltd, Simon has developed four unique products that the company manufacture, that work together to change water quality from poor to high. The technology reduces nutrient levels and increases biodiversity within the water and the surrounding environment.
By creating the conditions to allow water to heal itself is the best option. The AlgaEnviro system is rebalancing the water chemistry so that nature can take over and remove polluting nutrients, get rid of toxic blue-green algae and remove large water weeds that choke the waterway.
