  • Algal blooms: What are they?

    Algal blooms: What are they?

    Algal blooms are also known as marine blooms or water blooms, and are actually a sudden increase in the population of algae in water scenery. Algal blooms usually take place in freshwater, such as lakes and water reservoirs as well as in marine ...

  • Algae Control in Lakes and Reservoirs

    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 ...

  • Cyanobacterial Blooms

    Cyanobacterial Blooms

    Cyanobacterial blooms can lead to a depletion of oxygen in the water, a release of toxins, as well as taste and odour problems. Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae are found in the oldest known fossils, dating back 3.5 billion years. They ...

  • Control Algae and Improve the Water Quality in Waste Stabilization Ponds

    Control Algae and Improve the Water Quality in Waste Stabilization Ponds

    Due to population growth, accelerated urbanisation and economic development, the quantity of waste water generated is increasing globally. Mainly in low-income areas, a large proportion of the waste water is discharged directly in the environment. ...

  • Why it is Important to Control Algae Growth

    Why it is Important to Control Algae Growth

    A combination of high temperatures, stagnant water and nutrient overload can result in excessive algae growth. These so-called algal blooms can lead to a depletion of oxygen in the water, release of toxins and taste and odor problems. Without ...
