Abstract |
|
In this research, we investigate the waste water treatment by using algae. As from our investigation, we know that the world is facing problems with a wide variety of pollutants and contaminates from various development activities. The population explosion in the world has resulted in an increase in the area of polluted water. The concern on the quantity and quality of waste generated and discharged into natural water bodies has recently indicated the need for different strategies address water quality challenges in the regions. So for that we have design a system is to grow freshwater algae in municipal waste water. In this the flexible plastic tubes that float in sea water and process of growing, the algae treat waste water and address environmental problems by consuming nutrients from wastewater and carbon dioxide. The nutrients, if left unconsumed, would otherwise be released into the costal waters contributing to undesired algae blooms. Depending upon the amount of sunlight, nutrients, water temperature and a few other environmental conditions algae can double their numbers every day and be ready to treat waste water in just three to five days. |
