Algae growth in water systems is a common challenge, affecting everything from domestic water supplies to large-scale industrial operations. Algae thrive in environments rich in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, particularly when sunlight and warmth are abundant. These conditions often occur in stagnant or slow-moving water, leading to issues such as clogged pipes, foul odours and compromised water quality.
Why Algae Growth Matters
The presence of algae in water systems can have significant implications for both efficiency and safety. In domestic settings, algae can lead to unpleasant tastes and smells, while in industrial systems, it can clog pipes and filters, reducing the efficiency of water flow and increasing maintenance costs. Additionally, certain types of algae can produce toxins that pose health risks to humans and animals.
Algae and Corrosion
One often overlooked consequence of algae growth is its contribution to corrosion. Algae can create biofilms on the surfaces of pipes and equipment, which not only promotes the buildup of scale but also accelerates corrosion. This is particularly problematic in systems where water corrosion treatment is critical to maintaining the longevity and functionality of infrastructure.
