Case histories for Harmful Algal Blooms in desalination.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Algae have long been an issue impacting desalination plant operation in areas prone to algal
blooms or where macroalgae (seaweeds) and detritus became dislodged from the seabed.
Previously and still today, operators and ...
Algal issues in seawater desalination.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Once harmful algal blooms (HABs) reach a desalination plant, they can cause significant
operational issues and potential health concerns for consumers. These issues stem from two
factors – first, the algal cells produce ...
Designing an observing system for early detection of harmful algal blooms.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious and growing threat to many desalination plants. It
is therefore important to limit the impact from HABs by preventing blooms from reaching
seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants ...
Recommendations for improved and coherent acquisition and processing of backscatter data from seafloor-mapping sonars.
(2018)
Multibeam echosounders are becoming widespread for the purposes of seafloor bathymetry mapping, but the acquisition and the use of seafloor backscatter measurements, acquired simultaneously with the bathymetric data, are ...
Acquisition and analysis of remote sensing imagery of harmful algal blooms.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Remote sensing was long considered an obvious tool for studying the distribution of harmful
algal bloom (HAB) organisms over larger spatial and shorter time scales than is possible with
ship-based sampling (Tester et al. ...
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and Desalination: a Guide to Impacts, Monitoring and Management.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO,, Paris, France, 2017)
Arid countries throughout the world are heavily reliant on seawater desalination for their
supply of drinking and municipal water. The desalination industry is large and rapidly
growing, approaching more than 20,000 ...
Harmful algal blooms.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Harmful algal blooms are increasing in frequency and magnitude in many parts of the world,
and one of the sectors of society that is being increasingly affected is the desalination
industry. Given trends in the development ...
Appendix 5. Autopsy and cleaning of reverse osmosis elements affected by harmful algal bloom-contaminated seawater.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Following an algal bloom, if a change is observed in the reverse osmosis (RO) performance,
an initial visual plant inspection should be carried out, including looking at and removing
cartridge filters and membrane elements ...
Seawater intake considerations to mitigate HAB impacts.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Seawater intakes are a key element in the design, construction and success of desalination
plants. Various intake options exist and are generally classified based on their abstraction
depth. Surface ocean intakes abstract ...
Bloom prevention and control.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious and growing problem to many sectors of society,
including the desalination industry. The many problems that HABs present for seawater
reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants ...
