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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
World Health Organization and International Guidelines for toxin control, Harmful Algal Boom management, and response planning.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Drinking water guidelines are designed to protect public health and the safety of drinking
water supplies by suggesting safe levels for constituents that are known to be hazardous to
health. The World Health Organization ...
Removal of algal toxins and taste and odor compounds during desalination.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
A major challenge in desalination is the removal of harmful algal bloom (HAB) toxins and
taste and odor compounds (hereafter referred to as algal metabolites) using common
treatment techniques. Removal of other compounds ...
Appendix 1. Algal species potentially harmful to desalinitation operations.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
It is now well established that harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a serious and growing
threat to seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants worldwide. In many plants,
these threats are indirectly monitored ...
Appendix 2. Rapid screening methods for Harmful Algal Blooms toxins.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
At the core of all national harmful algal bloom (HAB) programs are the monitoring
programs needed to detect HAB toxins in shellfish, fish, water, or other resources
sufficiently early to take management actions (Anderson ...
