This powerpoint presentation outlines a study to develop a systematic approach to
controlling algae growth within water
treatment plants. The approach included:
a literature review focusing on algae types and factors influencing algal growth;
case studies involving 18 plants across the U.S.;
an online survey of 200 utilities asking 53 questions on
treatment train,
algae issues within the treatment plant,
types of algae identified,
algae mitigation strategies, and
successful strategies used; eight plants were sampled for
algae characterization in pre-sedimentation
basins,
flocculation basins,
sedimentation basins, and
filters; and,
optimal strategies for mitigating algae and costs. Algal control strategies included:
Chemical Strategies;
Operational Strategies;
Design Strategies; and,
Other Technologies.
