Ozone, Biofiltration and nanobubbles in tackling stale water bodies in South Africa such as Hartebeesport Dam.
A typical water treatment problem in South Africa is the presence of geosmin and MIB, which causes a musty/earthy smell or taste. (2-methylisoborneol (MIB) and trans-1,10-dimethyl-trans-9-decalol (geosmin)). In particular, this problem has been found in water from Hartebeesport Dam, where the stale water, mainly due to the weed and algae growth, can be challenging to […]
