Clermont water plant uses multiple methods against algal blooms
[USA] As summer grows warmer, so does concern about harmful algal blooms, commonly known as HABs, and found the last couple of years on Harsha Lake in East Fork State Park.
Last August, a spike in HABs around its water intake crib in western Lake Erie Continue reading Clermont water plant uses multiple methods against algal blooms
Reduction of microalgae harvesting costs via the development of an ultrasound flow cell to provide pre-concentration
[EU] The worldwide production of microalgae is currently around 7,000 tons/year of dry algal biomass, used for a wide variety of applications including livestock feed, aquaculture, functional foods, cosmetics or pharmaceuticals. In addition, microalgae contain around 30% Continue reading Reduction of microalgae harvesting costs via the development of an ultrasound flow cell to provide pre-concentration
Clay particles could help fish farmers tackle deadly plankton blooms
Dumping clay into the water when there is a plankton bloom, like last month, when 600 tonnes of fish died, could be a lifeline for fish farmers in Singapore.
Clay flocculation, also known as clay Continue reading Clay particles could help fish farmers tackle deadly plankton blooms
