2 Outline of the Presentation 2 An Overview of Algae Related T&O Factors affecting algae growth and proliferation Taste & odor control goal setting Algae Source Management Techniques Treatment technologies for algae related T&O control Performance data Case Studies
3 Overview of Algae Related Taste & Odor 3 Taste & odor can be caused by a wide variety of types and species of algae: Chlorophyta (Green algae), e.g. Pandorina, Volvox Cyanophyta (Blue-Green Algae), e.g. Microcystis, Anabaena Chrysophyta (Yellow-Green Algae), e.g. Dinobryon, Synura Pyrrhophyta (Dinoflagellates), e.g. Ceratium, Peridinium Cryptophyta (Cryptomonads), e.g. Cryptomonas Geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) are by far the most well known T&O causing algae metabolites, but by no means the only ones

6 How do we measure Taste & Odor? 6 Humans have varying sensitivity to tastes and odors in drinking water With so many causes of T&O, a one size fits all approach to measurement is not possible Three main methods are used: 1. Measurement of specific compounds, e.g. MIB or geosmin 2. Threshold Odor Number (TON - Standard Methods) A fixed panel measures the intensity of odor (regardless of type) 3. Flavour Profile Analysis (FPA) A fixed panel measures both type and intensity of flavour

8 Concentrations of T&O compounds at Camden Intake 19.3 MIB Geosmin
9 So how do we deal with algae related T&O? 9 Management of Algae Growth at the Source Stop or suppress algae growing in the first place Kill algae at the source Management of Algae T&O at the Water Treatment Plant Remove live algae cells through treatment Kill live algae cells through treatment Directly treat T&O causing compounds after release
10 Management of Algae Growth at the Source 10 Several techniques have been considered: Select an alternative intake location Reduce nutrient input from point and non-point sources Precipitate nutrients in-lake using alum or lime Dredge sediment De-stratify water with artificial circulation Aerate the Hypolimnion Use algaecides (e.g. copper sulphate) as a growth inhibitor Bio-manipulate at the source Care is needed, as unintended results can occur, e.g.: Other environmental impacts (e.g. toxicity due to algaecide use) Proliferation of other species Enhanced release of intracellular compounds
