Water Research Australia is pleased to announce the release of new research, 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 comprehensive report provides valuable insights into innovative treatment methods for managing cyanobacterial growth in wastewater systems, offering practical solutions to enhance water quality.
This study, conducted at Melbourne Water’s Western Treatment Plant, assesses the feasibility of using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) dosing to control harmful cyanobacteria growth in wastewater stabilisation ponds. The research provides valuable insights into oxidation processes, optimal dosing, and the impact on microbial diversity, offering practical solutions for improved water treatment.
WaterRA members have exclusive access to download the full report and explore the findings that can help shape future water quality management strategies. This is a key opportunity to enhance your understanding of effective cyanobacteria control methods and their implications for wastewater management.
In conjunction with the report, we invite members to register for the upcoming webinar on December 3rd, where industry experts will discuss the trial outcomes and share practical applications of the research findings. This live session will cover key takeaways, such as the 70% reduction in cyanobacteria viability achieved in surface blooms, operational challenges in sediment treatment, and next steps for pilot and full-scale studies.
