Join us for an insightful webinar led by Dr Arash Zamyadi from Monash University, who will present key findings from WaterRA’s latest research project, Scalable Approaches for Microbial Viability and Treatment in Manufactured Water: Feasibility Assessment of Hydrogen Peroxide Dosing for Cyanobacteria Removal at Treated Wastewater Stabilisation Ponds.

This research explores the use of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as a viable treatment option to control toxic cyanobacterial blooms in treated wastewater systems. During the webinar, Dr Zamyadi will discuss the feasibility of H₂O₂ dosing, share lab-based trial results, and provide insights into optimal dosing quantities, decomposition rates, and microbial diversity impacts. The study demonstrated a significant reduction in cyanobacteria surface bloom viability, with further exploration needed for treatment of sedimented sludge.

Key topics covered in this webinar include:
• Effectiveness of H₂O₂ in reducing cyanobacteria growth, with up to 70% bloom reduction in surface layers.
• Operational challenges faced when treating sedimented sludge and their implications for future research.
• How H₂O₂ can be integrated into scalable strategies for managing cyanobacteria in wastewater stabilisation ponds.

This research outcomes webinar offers insights into methods for improving water quality in managed water bodies. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about innovative cyanobacteria control techniques directly from the research team!
