Algae problem at my workplace..but not in a swimming pool!!

The website has more than a few red flags !

A couple examples:

1. Colloids in water systems become components of the capacitor receive a strong boost to their natural surface charge, altering double-layer conditions that govern particle interactions.

Colloid as defined by Websters -
a : a substance that consists of particles dispersed throughout another substance which are too small for resolution with an ordinary light microscope but are incapable of passing through a semipermeable membrane.
b : a mixture consisting of a colloid together with the medium in which it is dispersed <smoke is a colloid>

Well that seems to indicate that tiny unseen particles become part of the Capacitor. Where said capacitor is however, I can't fathom !!

2. Through innovative design, space-age materials were combined with down-to-earth engineering know-how to create the Zeta Rod™, a vitrified ceramic (similar to the material used in the tiles that provide heat shielding for the space shuttle) electrode capable of holding an extremely high voltage electrostatic charge

You have to question the use of a phrase like "down-to-earth engineering know-how". And I always get skeptical when they refer to similarities to items used by NASA.

Even if this worked (maybe it's electrocuting the algae?). I can't see how it could do so effectively in a moving stream of liquid.

Maybe someone with an engineering degree can decipher the explanation on the website and tell us what the science is and if it could work.
