I am Dr. Muhammad Shoukat belong to a small city of Pakistan (Jacobabad) here temperature rise above 50 Celsius. In this city we have 4 water stabilizing ponds for wastewater the color of water in the pond is changed to red, can you help me in the treatment of water in the pond. Main problem is standing red water because disposal of this pond is irrigation land and chemical and biological parameters are not suitable for irrigation water so we have to treat this standing water of pond. Kindly help me for the treatment of this red water. I will be very thankful to you for your cooperation.
With regard
Dr. Shoukat
Well,
if the phenomenon like in the attached figs., this means that there is a dinoflagellates.
In certain seasons of the year, the state of eutrophication phenomenon causes the growth of species of single-cell organisms ( dinoflagellates), which release toxic substances into the waters, This phenomenon is known as red tide when happened in the coastal sea water.
here deal with it as pathogens then treated.
Well,
Dinoflagellates are protists, an organism that can function as a plant and an animal at the same time. Some dinoflagellates eat other protozoa; some generate energy through photosynthesis; some can do both.
For wastewater
- Use a UV Sterilizer. Get a high quality and well sized UV Sterilizer and run it 24-7. The UV sterilizer will be most effective during the blackout period.
Add small doses of hydrogen peroxide. The general rule is 1 ml per 10 gallons of water, but this for treatment in tank aquarium.
Also, Control the lighting in your tank because the most common dinos derive their energy from photosynthesis, so killing the lights will also kill them.
In tank aquarium
DINO X (formerly Algae X) is a very strong and effective solution to remove any hairy or plague type algae growth in Reef Tanks, it also removes dinoflagellates very successfully. It treats algae plagues in reef aquariums without harming any corals. DINO X does not destabilize the aquarium system. DINO X is not a treatment for Cyanobacteria.
5 ml DINO X of 100L / 26 gal. water every 2 days. DO NOT OVERDOSE AND CALCULATE THE LITRES OR GALLONS EXACTLY Dose every 2 days until the algae has gone but not more than 21 Dosing at a time.

Well,
Surely, solve problem born another problem, that leads another removal process to mitigate the sludge toxins concentration .

Thanks, Bayan. Could you provide details of how sludge is handled in WSPs and outstanding challenges?
Well,
Mr Bassey Okon Bassey Here we deal with treated wastewater, this water reused for irrigation only, not be suitable for drinking. while the toxins in the sludge must be adapted to a concentration not excess the toxins background in local soils. Here the best and cheapest adaption is mixing the sludge with local soils in accurate percent to be used for soil improvement.
Sincerely
