One permit number, and the people who wrote it up.
The Florida permit and four documents written by other people. Inquiries go through the situation-report form and reach a person rather than a press office.
Written by other people
The four documents worth your time.
Two concern the Florida permit. Two concern other parties' equipment.
The Sarasota Bay Estuary Program's director's note, September 2024, on the red tide study permit. The program gave the application technical support and took no money for it, which leaves it free to publish whatever the water says. Its interest is in monitoring open-water work when that work happens. Read it.
START's account of the same permit. The Florida nonprofit Solutions To Avoid Red Tide describes the mobile system and what the trial is meant to test. Read it.
NOAA NCCOS, September 2018, on an ozone nanobubble aeration system tested at an eight-acre pond near Fort Myers Beach. Not our equipment. Read it.
NOAA NCCOS, July 2020, on ballast-water testing of a commercial nanobubble ozone system. Also not our equipment, and it abbreviates another party's Nanobubble Ozone Technology to NBOT. Read it.

Notes for accuracy
Two details worth checking before you print.
Each has been printed about companies in this sector, and each is easy to arrive at from public material.
- The CRADA is finished, and it never was an endorsement Alarivean completed the term of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with NOAA, entered via AMURI. It has ended. Write it in the past tense, because there is no active CRADA today. A CRADA is a decision to investigate something together and a private instrument that is never posted. What continues is advisory and verification input from Dr Peter Moeller; research since has run with Arizona State University, the Middle East Desalination Research Center and more. Federal agencies do not endorse commercial products, and none has put its name behind a vessel of ours.
- NBOT is a four-letter collision NOAA's 2020 ballast-water release abbreviates another party's Nanobubble Ozone Technology to NBOT. This network uses the same four letters for Nano Bubble Oxidation Technology. Different company, different hardware, different water.

How to describe this company in one paragraph.
Alarivean, Inc. is a water-treatment operator founded in July 2021, with a team distributed across several countries and time zones. What it sells is better water: outcomes agreed for a defined service zone and delivered on subscription, as a continuous program rather than a project with an end date. It licenses its remediation systems from its parent company, Sophia Delta; systems include SeaBreather, HABslayer and ChemSlayer. Those systems are refined continually, new proprietary capability is always under development, and most of what a program delivers rests on a few core systems. The oxidation duty is run as a contained process — a vessel draws affected water through a closed reactor and returns it cleaner and oxygen-enriched to the water it came from — where contained describes an enclosed, instrumented reaction rather than water impounded and held. There is no storage aboard, so nothing is collected, carried or discharged elsewhere. Residual limits, bromate included, are set for the receiving water with the authority consenting the work and written into the service level agreement before deployment. A program is written against water that has been characterized first, baselined against its own oceanography. Vessels, industrial gas, crew and instruments sit on the company's side of the line, with local scientific institutions engaged throughout, reading the same live data as the crew, and the client holding the contractual authority to halt an active deployment. The field record includes Florida DEP permit FLOA00062, granted in September 2024 for a red tide mitigation trial.
Use it verbatim if it helps. For a technical description rather than a corporate one, take it from the documents behind a program, where each record is listed with the body that issued it.
Inquiries and deadlines
There is no media inbox and no press officer. Use the situation-report form, put your deadline in the message field, and say what you are writing.
We will check facts you intend to print and tell you where a figure came from, or that we cannot substantiate it. We do not ask for copy approval and will not agree to it.
Marks and imagery
The wordmarks may be used to identify the company and its systems in editorial work. They may not be used in a way that suggests we endorse a product, a service or a position.
Asked by journalists
Three practical answers
Can I get a copy of the Florida permit?
Ask Florida's environmental regulator for FLOA00062 directly. That route does not pass through us, which is exactly why it is the one to take.
The two Florida bodies that documented it have published their own accounts, linked further up this page.
Will you review my article before it runs?
No. Send us the facts you intend to print and we will tell you where each figure came from, or that we cannot substantiate it.
Copy approval is a different arrangement, and not one we ask for or agree to.
Who do I contact for an interview?
The situation-report form, with your deadline in the message field. There is a small team and no communications department, so it reaches a person rather than a queue.
If your question is technical, say so and it will go to whoever actually knows, rather than to whoever is free.
On deadline
Put the question in writing and we will answer it.
Say what you are writing and when you file. Technical questions go to whoever actually knows, and a figure comes back with the body that published it.
