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 ...
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 ...
Algal biomass pretreatment in Seawater Reverse Osmosis.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can result in a substantial increase in the organic and solids
load in the seawater feed to be treated at a desalination plant. In this chapter, the removal of
this material is addressed in ...
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 ...
