Experiences of algae in UK waters: a treatment perspective

Abstract: Algae blooms are a seasonal problem in UK waters and during these periods interferences with treatment plants are reported. This paper presents an analysis of data from 2000 to 2005 demonstrating UK experiences of algae at water treatment works. Cell populations are lower than those reported in the 1970s and 1980s, but reach levels that adversely affect treatment processes. Diatoms and cyanobacteria dominate in spring and autumn respectively. A treatment works including pre-oxidation, coagulation, flotation an… Show more

“…One of the manifestations of eutrophic conditions is phytoplankton blooms. Dense phytoplankton blooms may cause deterioration in ecosystem services, for example obstructing water abstractions for drinking and industrial purposes (Henderson et al, 2008) impairs the provision of water of a sufficient quality. Phytoplankton also include the toxic cyanobacteria group whose occurrence in UK rivers is extensive (Ferguson, 1997).…”

“…Londres, no período de 1994 a 1996, a alga verde filamentosa Clarophora dominou durante o período de verão, sendo que diatomáceas filamentosas do gênero Melosira foram as dominantes no inverno (NAKAMOTO et al, 1996, HENDERSON et al, 2008. De acordo com Henderson et al, (2008) as diatomáceas Melosira sp., Asterionella formosa e Fragillaria crotonensis são formadoras de colônias, e foram as responsáveis pelo bloom que promoveu considerável perda de carga e quedas acentuadas nos tempos de execução registrados em uma estação de tratamento de água que utilizou filtros lentos em areia em Londres, Inglaterra.…”
