PFAS? Ferrate Works On That, Too.
Perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are chemicals consisting of a carbon structure attached to fluorine molecules.
Canals ALREADY catch it all! Let’s use them for treatment.
As our Basin Management Plans (BMAP) are being reviewed, and the Blue-Green Algae Task Force continues to meet, serious discussions are taking place about ways to actually limit nutrient input to our surface waters.
Algae be gone!….. but when?
The FDEP has just begun its review of the Basin Management Action Plans (BMAP) for the State of Florida, which were issued five years ago.
The blue green algae crisis: Believe it or not, there’s hope
These days, it seems like everyone is weighing in about Florida’s blue green algae crisis. The crescendo is hitting notes on everything from blame and finger-pointing, to doomsday predictions and “kick the can down the road” advocacies for more research and study. – Read More on Naples Daily News
Dorian’s Gone, So Let’s Get Back to Work on Biosolids
Since we have to do SOMETHING with our wastewater sludge, people should know the difference between it and “biosolids”, and why we need to remove ammonia nitrogen before spreading them on our fields.
Blue Green Algae Everywhere … Summer of our Discontent? Let’s all Drink to That …
Harmful Algal Blooms have sprung up in lakes, rivers and coastal waters across the nation; it looks like the pigeons have come home to roost …. payback for our continued discharge of nutrients into the environment. Perhaps a harbinger of things to come? Treating these discharges to remove the nutrients is doable and affordable, and it’s about time to focus our resources on treatment and clean-up …. Not more monitoring.
Ferrate vs. Blue Green Algae – The real culprit isn’t just nitrogen and phosphorus, it’s ammonia.
It’s time to get serious about treating wastewater and stormwater runoff, PROPERLY, before it ends up in our surface and groundwater.
Impounding Nutrient Rich Water can Never Begin to Prevent Massive Algal and Bacterial Blooms in Florida’s Waterways… NEVER…
Impoundment of nutrient rich water from agricultural runoff, or wastewater treatment plant effluent has evolved as the only acceptable treatment scenario to prevent disastrous algal and bacterial blooms in Florida.
Radionuclides in Drinking Water; A Market for Ferrate?
Most of the radionuclides present in drinking water supplies are from natural sources. Naturally occurring radionuclides are created in the upper atmosphere and are bound in the Earth’s crust.
