Algae Problems
Almost everywhere where water is being stored, algae problems may occur. When water is stagnant, has a high temperature or a high concentration of Nitrates and Phosphates, an algae bloom might occur, which can cause several problems. Blue-green algae growth can cause a foul odour to the water, a layer of scum on the surface and even pose a health risk. Green algae may colour the water green, look ...

Algae Control in Lakes and Reservoirs
There are plenty of harmful algal bloom related cases worldwide but what is evident is that their number elevates with each year. Excessive cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and green algae growth in a water reservoir can have negative consequences for the water quality. The water turns green, sand filters can clog, and some algae can produce geosmins and MIB, giving the water an ...

Algal blooms in drinking water reservoirs
Frequent outbreaks of algal blooms are degrading water in drinking water reservoirs worldwide, making the water unusable. Algal blooms can sometimes be so massive that they are visible from outer space. Rising temperatures, prolonged water stagnation, extreme weather and increased runoff of nutrients from urban and agricultural lands are all compounding the algae problem. Especially in the summer ...

Taming Taste & Odor (T&O) Problems - Case Study
Some taste and odors are caused by mineral constituents in the water, e.g. excess chlorine and hydrogen sulfide. However the majority of taste and odor are the result of biologic activity. Spring turnover of lakes and algal blooms are responsible for Blue-green algae (Cyanobacterium), Green algae and diatoms that introduce filter clogging organisms that also foul anion exchange resins, degrade ...

Algae Removal case study
Best results are achieved with standing water or contained systems. The product works by eating the nutrients that the Algae require thus preventing growth. When used as directed the products are harmless to people and marine life. Algae thrive on nutrients that are present in water, probably due to run off from fields and or treated water discharge. The algae can be controlled very easily, ...
