Dubai
Closest to the water we are built for. Gulf and Red Sea programmes, desalination intakes, ports, aquaculture and the ministries that answer for all three.
The company that has to be right about this.
Alarivean, Inc. licenses seven treatment systems from Credible Ventures and runs them in real water, for real seasons, under permits granted in our own name.
What we are
An operator, not an inventor and not a vendor.
Alarivean was established in July 2021 by Michael Corridan, who runs it. There are people in Dubai, Zurich and Phoenix; the Florida environmental permit records the company at Scottsdale, Arizona. That is the whole of the corporate biography, and a longer one would not tell you anything you could check.
What the company does is narrower than the technology behind it, on purpose. We take a defined stretch of coastal water and a defined part of the year, and we hold treatment capacity in it — vessels, industrial gas, crew, instrumentation, analytics, and somebody independent reading the same numbers we read. The client buys a season of capability rather than a machine and the problem of running one.
Everything a buyer can inspect sits on our side of that 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 buyer's own jurisdiction. The insurance, the indemnities and the invoice. Being in the water on the date we said.
What sits on the other side is the design of the systems and the names they carry, and those belong to Credible Ventures.

No patent filing has been located under these names, and a trademark is not one. The evidence page sorts all of it into tiers and says what each tier fails to prove.
The split, from this side of it
Why the technology is deliberately not ours.
Buyers usually meet this arrangement as a diagram on the parent's website. It is more useful to hear what it costs and gives the operator.
A group that both invents a thing and sells it is marking its own homework twice: once on the technical claim, once on the loss when the claim turns out to be optimistic. Splitting the two puts the liability with the party that can actually be sued for it, and that party is this one.
What we give up is control of the underlying design and the right to change it on a whim. What we get is a system that stays available on a coastline even if this company has a bad year, and a structure a sovereign joint venture can be built on, because the licence can sit inside the vehicle while the intellectual property stays outside it.
For you, the practical consequence is short. Read the technology arguments on the system sites and the group's own account of how it is put together. Then negotiate with us, because we are the ones who have to be in the water on the day.
The pillar we would keep
The part of a programme we do not control.
Water treatment is easy to claim and hard to audit, and a supplier holding the only sensors, the only dataset and the only report has handed you a story rather than a result. So local scientific institutions are engaged from the site read onward, with access to the live feeds our crews steer by and freedom to bring their own instruments.
It is written into the programme rather than offered at the opening meeting, because oversight a supplier can switch off is decoration. What it means in practice is on the evidence page.
Five things we will not do
- We will not quote you a performance figure for your bay before a site read. Anything specific arrives in writing afterwards, with its assumptions attached.
- We will not be the only party holding the season's data. That is a condition of the work, not a concession in the negotiation.
- We will not imply that a research agreement is an endorsement. No agency has approved anything we sell.
- We will not sell you a programme for water it does not suit. The site read exists to reach that answer cheaply, and it reaches it fairly often.
- We will not claim to have fixed your catchment. Nutrients come off land and are reduced on land. Treating the water buys back the years while that argument is fought.
Where the company is
Three offices, one service zone.
Zurich
Structuring, counterparties and the long conversations that precede a sovereign programme. European institutional work sits here.
Phoenix
Engineering, vessel work and the North American record, including the Florida field-trial permit and the research relationships behind it.
Asked in the first meeting
Three questions, answered flatly
Do you own the technology?
No. The seven systems are the intellectual property of Credible Ventures, and Alarivean holds a licence to deploy them.
Everything the deployment involves is ours: the vessels, the crew, the gas contracts, the instruments, the permit, the insurance and the promise about the date.
Which entity would we actually be contracting with?
This one. The permit application goes in under the name Alarivean, Inc., in your regulator's jurisdiction and under that jurisdiction's law, which is the correct place for it.
Do not assume a parent guarantee exists because a group structure looks tidy on a web page. 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. It happens often enough that the site read is designed around reaching that answer quickly rather than avoiding it.
The usual reason is load. If the nutrients arriving from a catchment are large enough and constant enough, treatment in the receiving water buys back time and substitutes for nothing being done on land. You should hear that from us in week one, not from your own review in year two.
Ten minutes, no data pack
Start with the water, not with us.
Tell us which water body, what goes wrong in it, when, and what that costs you. The read comes back before any commercial conversation does.
