Programs
Desalination intakes, ports, aquaculture and the ministries that answer for all three, staffed close enough to a coast to be alongside on the day.
Meet Alarivean, your Aquatic Prosperity service provider.
Alarivean, Inc. is a licensed service operator. We license the treatment systems from our parent, Sophia Delta, and run them in real water under permits in our own name, for clients who subscribe to an outcome instead of buying a boat.
What we are
A licensed service operator, held to a result agreed before anything deploys.
Alarivean (est. 2021) was founded by Michael Corridan to answer grave threats to our planet's lakes, rivers and oceans.
We take a defined stretch of water, agree with you and your regulator in writing what that water has to be doing, and run a service that gets it there and keeps it there: vessels, industrial gas, crew, instrumentation, analytics. It runs year round, year after year, because the loading does. How long a water body takes to reach its condition is measured during the calibration phase, against parameters written down before it starts.
What changes hands is the condition of the water. Everything a client can inspect sits on our side of the line. Hulls and the treatment stage bolted to them. Crew and their certification. The gas supply agreement. The environmental permit, applied for by name in the client's own jurisdiction. The insurance, the indemnities and the invoice. Fleet presence in the service zone as agreed. The fleet and its equipment stay ours.
The design of the systems and the names they carry belong to Sophia Delta.
Where a program is written
Characterized first, contracted second.
A service zone is a characterized body of water. Before a program is written against one, the water is baselined against its own oceanography: what it does through the year, what already lives in it, which months carry the exposure, and what a service there would have to hold.
The numbers a zone will be held to are written down first and signed twice, by the client and by the body granting consent. Neighboring water does not inherit them, and two coastlines that look alike from an airplane can want quite different programs.
The method has been taken through a cool-temperate inverse estuary in South Australia, where no hull works yet: water that shares almost none of the Gulf's physics.
For the file
The entity, the license and the records.
| Legal entity | Alarivean, Inc. |
|---|---|
| Established | July 2021 |
| Founder and chief executive | Michael Corridan |
| Where the team sits | Distributed across several countries and time zones |
| What a client contracts for | An ongoing service program, run year round by a licensed service operator. Canceled on two grounds: performance outside the agreed spec, or a client not satisfied once the minimum subscription period has been served |
| How a zone is set | Characterized and baselined against its own oceanography before a program is written against it |
| What we deploy | Systems include SeaBreather, HABslayer, ChemSlayer, ReefHealer, Fluid Nano, NanoponiX and SoilScrubber; the mix, these or others, follows each Aquatic Prosperity Program (APP) service scope |
| Licensed from | Sophia Delta, the parent company, which owns most of the systems we use and licenses them on enforceable terms |
| Environmental permit on record | Florida DEP permit FLOA00062, September 2024, documented independently by the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program and START |
The documents behind a program lists what each record establishes. Questions about the wider intellectual property go to the licensor.
Cover and indemnity
What a program carries in Alarivean's own name.
The permit is applied for here and the loss lands here, so the cover belongs here too. Four lines answer for a program. Which of them a particular contract needs follows the water, the vessel tier and the jurisdiction consenting the work.
| Line | What it answers for |
|---|---|
| General liability | Third-party injury and property damage arising from the operator's activity ashore, alongside and at the berth. |
| Marine liability | Hull and machinery, with protection and indemnity at the level the vessel tier requires: crew, collision, wreck removal and the ordinary exposures a working boat carries. |
| Pollution legal liability | A discharge that leaves the envelope written into the service level agreement, and the cleanup and third-party consequences that follow it. |
| Professional indemnity | The measurement opinion: the site read, the characterization, the calibration result and the reporting a client and its regulator act on. |
Certificates, limits, deductibles, retroactive dates, territorial scope and additional-insured or waiver-of-subrogation endorsements are produced at diligence on request, as the placement stands on the day it is asked for. Where a line is not yet placed for the program in front of you, the position is confirmed at diligence in writing instead of asserted here. No limit and no retroactive date is published, because a placement moves and a figure put up today would be stale by the quarter after it.
The documents behind a program carries this beside the permit and the oversight arrangement. The loss side of the same argument is AquaProsper's.
The split
Why the systems sit with the parent and the liability sits here.
When one company owns the invention and also carries the loss, both judgments are made in the same room. Separating them puts the liability with the party that can be sued for it: Alarivean.
We give up control of the underlying design and the right to change it on a whim. We get a system that stays available on a coastline even if Alarivean has a bad year, and a structure a sovereign program can be built on in whatever form it needs — a joint venture among them — because the license can sit inside the vehicle while the intellectual property stays outside it.
Sophia Delta's own account covers the structure. Negotiate with us. We are the ones in the water on the day.
Independent oversight
Local scientists read the same live data as the crew.
The institutions that already answer for a water body are engaged from the site read onward. They read the live feeds our crews steer by and may bring their own instruments and data sources. The program schedule names the institution and the date its access begins.
Those scientists can halt an active deployment on a suspected breach. What oversight has access to.
What the contract binds us to
- We will not quote you a performance figure for your bay before a site read. Anything specific arrives in writing afterward, with its assumptions attached.
- We will not be the only party holding the data. That condition is settled before the commercial terms.
- We will not sell a program into water it does not suit. The site read decides that, for far less than a subscription nobody should have signed.
- We will not hold you to a subscription that is not working for you. It ends on two grounds: performance outside the agreed spec, or you, once the minimum period has been served, deciding you are not satisfied, for any reason or none.
- We will not claim to have fixed your catchment. Cutting what leaves the land is land-use policy, it takes twenty years, and it should be started. A firewall at the runoff hotspots stops the loading dynamic spreading outward in the meantime.
How the company is arranged
Staffed in the time zones the programs run in.
No head office to route a question through. Three strands of work, each staffed where its counterparties are.
Structuring
Counterparties, joint ventures and the long conversations that precede a sovereign program. European institutional work runs from here.
Engineering and the record
Vessel work, and the North American record — the Florida field-trial permit and the research relationships behind it.
Asked in the first meeting
Ownership, contract, fit and reach
Do you own the technology?
No. The systems are the intellectual property of our parent company, Sophia Delta, and Alarivean holds a license to deploy them. A few core systems carry most of the service capability, and they keep improving as new proprietary capability comes through development.
Everything the deployment involves is ours, down to the permit, the insurance and the promise about the date.
Which entity would we actually be contracting with?
Alarivean, Inc. The permit application goes in under that name, in your regulator's jurisdiction and under its law.
A tidy group diagram is no parent guarantee. If you need one, negotiate it, and have your counsel confirm which entity signed.
Will you tell us if this is the wrong instrument for our water?
Yes. The site read reaches that answer early, in writing, before any commercial conversation.
Where the answer is no, you get our read on which trade the problem belongs to instead — a catchment program, a dredging contractor, a plant engineer — in week one, with the reasoning attached so your own people can check it.
Where do you expect to be working?
The Gulf and the Red Sea are the leading examples. Australia, Polynesia, the Americas, Europe and the wider MENA region are live prospects. The license confines us to none of them and grants no exclusivity; what settles it is whether a stretch of water can be characterized and served safely, under an agreement worth standing behind.
Ten minutes, no data pack
Put a water body in front of us.
Which water, what goes wrong in it, in which weeks, and what those weeks cost you. Back comes a read on that water and its zone, with a named program lead, before any commercial conversation.
