After roughly one year, the seasonal filamentous algae along the basin perimeter largely disappeared. The authors characterize the technology as chemical-free, low-maintenance for localized basin algae control, and emphasize its role as a complement to existing treatment rather than a replacement. ...
Background Information Private community offers wide open spaces, nature preserves and wooded areas Over 120 acres of lakes and ponds “Green” living community Filamentous algae is taking over and grows in abundance in shallow water ponds Floating on the surface water, algae impedes swimming, fishing and other recreation ...
Excessive algae growth can transform a beautiful lake into an unsightly, potentially dangerous water body that threatens aquatic life and creates other problems such as fish kills and swimmers itch. This makes swimming, fishing, and recreational activities unpleasant or impossible. Similarly, water temperature is among one of the major driving factors for algae growth. Whether you’re ...
Blue-green algae, or tiny organisms called cyanobacteria, are a growing concern in freshwater systems worldwide. Blue-green algae naturally occur in many aquatic environments and are a normal part of the ecosystem. Cyanotoxins produced by cyanobacteria cannot be visually detected in water or tissues. In the ecosystem blue-green algae Lake Tahoe, play a fundamental role, contributing to the ...
Summary Algae are a natural and important part of any lake ecosystem; Stagnant water, high temperatures, and excessive nutrients stimulate blue-green algae growth; Environmental changes, such as shifts in temperature or nutrient levels, can influence the likelihood of an algal bloom; Controlling algae blooms has become a pressing global challenge; Current treatment options include ultrasound, ...
Algae (photosynthetic organisms) can be found in almost any aquatic environment, such as ponds on golf courses. Depending on the type and level of growth, golf course pond algae can be beneficial and challenging. Therefore, here are some critical points about golf course pond ...
Residents impressed as Ginger Cove lake’s quality and clarity look better than it has in 40 years Located in Valley, Nebraska, Ginger Cove is a premier spring-fed, sand-bottom lake home community founded in 1966. Spanning nearly 100 acres of lake and 40 acres of greenspace, Ginger Cove also tout’s Nebraska’s longest genuine covered bridge. The community boasts 160 residential ...
Lowman offered initial estimates and findings on her still ongoing study. Algae at Unexpected Altitudes Between the border of California and Nevada lies Lake Tahoe. ...
The filamentous algae in the pond caused clogging of the screens and pumping system. An alternative to chemical treatments was desired to control the algae. Products/Technology Used BioWorld was contacted to provide environmentally safe and natural algae treatment products. ...
Pre-Deployment Conditions: This location had a history of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms, surface scum, and odor issues in the ponds and when irrigating. Duckweed and filamentous algae have been known to be issues here (especially Pond ...
To access better removal of nutrients with algae-based techniques, a dominant alga from real municipal wastewater was identified and its capacity in removing low concentrations of nitrogen (NH+4 or NO−3) and phosphorus (PO3−4) was evaluated. Results showed that Oedogonium brevicingulatum, a filamentous green alga, was ...
Several LG Sonic e-line devices were installed in the SAB Miller Clarifier #1 in Tocancipa Brewery, Colombia in order to control filamentous algae. The LG Sonic e-line devices were installed in the summer of 2012. The Challenge: Control Algae and Increase Process Efficiency In the summer of 2012, SAB Miller, Colombia contacted LG Sonic in ...
A 77 meter rainwater reservoir for fire extinguishing purposes was completely covered with filamentous green algae. The green filamentous algae clogs regularly filters located before the jockey pumps. The Challenge: Control Green Algae and Lower the Use of Oxygen Peroxide Located in Tilloy-lès ...
Problem Before SolarBee Installation: Because of its shallowness and having high-nutrient stormwater runoff for source water, this pond had a history of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms that caused odors, as well as excessive filamentous algae growth that would cover much of the pond surface. ...
An e-line system was installed to control the algae. The Challenge: Green Algae Mats Covering the Pond’s Shores Located in Craigmyle, Torphins, Scotland, the 3,845 m2 pond was covered with dark green pond weed. ...
The total phosphorus (TP) removal efficiency from organic wastewater (pig farm and distillery wastewater) were estimated by using filamentous green algae (FGA) and benthic algal mats (BAM) treatment systems under laboratory conditions, and the contents of periphyton phosphorus fractions were determined by using a sequential extraction. ...
Thus, an efficient way to remove excess algae is needed in wastewater treatment. In this study, the potential of the filamentous cyanobacterium, Oscillatoria okeni, and the green alga, Chlorella vulgaris, to remove nitrate-nitrogen from tilapia-pond effluent was assessed. ...
In June 2012, the Brazilian public water company Sabesp decided to install one LG Sonic e-line device at their facultative oxidation lagoon in Itapetininga. The Challenge: Blue-green Algae Cause Operational Problems Nuisant odours caused by periodic occurrence of excessive quantities of filamentous, and blue-green algae were posing operational ...
As high levels of nutrition are available in these waters, algae may grow rapidly as well as other micro-organisms such as bacteria. Algae can compete for nutrients against the bacteria in charge of sludge reduction and can also clog complete systems. ...
This pond has been suffering from the growth of filamentous algae for a long period of time. Even when the algae where removed, they grew back within a couple of days. ...
