Optimising dissolved air flotation (DAF) for algae removal by bubble modification in drinking water and advanced wastewater systems

饮用水水库和高级废水处理泻湖中的藻类大量繁殖会影响水处理过程的性能和经济可行性，导致味道和气味发作以及藻类毒素的风险，并对澳大利亚已经紧张的水资源造成进一步限制。该项目旨在对已经用于藻类处理的溶气浮选工艺进行改造，根据澳大利亚饮用水和可再生水准则，为藻类细胞提供更强大、更经济和更可持续的屏障。

Algal blooms in potable water reservoirs and advanced wastewater treatment lagoons can impact the performance and economic viability of water treatment processes resulting in taste and odour episodes and the risk of algal toxins as well as causing further limitation to already stressed water resources in Australia. This project aims to develop an adaptation of the dissolved air flotation process that is already used for algae treatment that will provide a more robust, economic and sustainable barrier to algal cells in accordance with the Australian Drinking and Recycled Water Guidelines.
