Zero valent iron nanoparticles for algae bloom removal

Blue-green algae or cyanobacteria are gram-negative bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. They have a huge resistance to adverse conditions due to their simple construction. Typically, they occur in lakes, ponds and slow-moving streams but they can survive even in hostile environment due to their simple construction. Massive development of cyanobacteria is caused by the accumulation of nutrients in stagnant water (eutrophication). Algae Blooms can cause human allergic reactions manifesting by ...

Water treatment technologies solutions for nonpoint source pollution sector

Results show that the Algal Turf Scrubber can be designed to meet the most stringent of TMDL objectives. Nonpoint source applications that involve nutrient pollutants are especially well suited for the Algal Turf Scrubber due to the system’s capacity to treat large volumes of water contaminated with relatively low concentrations of pollutants. The Algal Turf Scrubber is unique in its ability to provide cost-effective treatment even when phosphorus concentrations are below 200 ppb and nitrogen levels are less ...

Environmental Monitoring

Environmental monitoring is becoming more important every day in local, national and international policies, showing the environmental awareness demanded by society. This fact gives rise to an increase in the amount of legislation that obliges companies to law enforcement. Thus, the necessity of making more pollutants controls means high analysis expenses to the companies, which need to subcontract this service. Although applications in this area advance, there is still a clear demand to get new portable ...

Water treatment technologies solutions for lake restoration

Serving as an “artificial kidney,” ATS units can be designed to recover incoming pollutant loads to meet TMDL mandates while reducing nutrient pollutants stored within lake sediments. The net result is a reduction of in-lake nutrient concentrations, improved water clarity, enhanced littoral zone communities, and fisheries ...

Submerged Bio-Reactors for Impaired Water Restoration

Over the last 30 years, nutrient pollution has become one of the major issues threatening the water ways around the U.S. Severe algae blooms and the corresponding hypoxic zone are a problem that will not go away alone. The U.S. EPA has been aggressively working with state regulators to limit the amount of point-source nutrient pollution around the country, and particularly in sensitive watersheds such as the Chesapeake Bay and the Mississippi River. Unfortunately, the amount of pollution from non-point source ...
