Algal and cyanobacterial blooms are natural phenomena, but their frequency and intensity are increasing due to…
This project assessed the feasibility of using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an algaecide to control cyanobacteria in the treated effluent lagoons at Melbourne Water’s Western Treatment Plant (WTP)…
This project will conduct a critical review of scalable algal control methods within wastewater lagoons, drinking water reservoirs, and constructed water bodies…
Algal and cyanobacterial blooms incur current treatment challenges such as high operational cost, disinfectant by-product formation, and the requirement to separate oxidants from solution after the oxidation…
Algal systems can be used to decrease the concentration of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in wastewater to low levels, and hence reduce the harm of wastewater discharge and facilitate water reuse…
The genus Microcystis is responsible for many ‘nuisance’ and toxic algal blooms that threaten various fresh water bodies in Australia…
Detection of Algal and Cyanobacterial blooms have increased in lakes, rivers and reservoirs over the last two decades…
This project determined disinfection by product contribution from chlorination of algae…
This project improved the knowledge of how algae species (population density, morphology and AOM concentration and character) and coagulation conditions (coagulant type, pH, polymer dose, and shear) impact algal floc properties in order to improve the C-F process and downstream separation treatment…
This project increased understanding of how cyanobacteria adapt and function in today’s environment…
