Journal Article
PRAPTIWI, R.A., PESTANA, C.J., SAWADE, E.T., SWAIN, N., SCHROEDER, G. and NEWCOMBE, G. 2017. Treatment challenge of a cyanobacterium Romeria elegans bloom in a South Australian wastewater treatment plant: a case study. Environmental technology [online], 38(6), 782-788. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1080/09593330.2016.1262454

A bloom of the non-toxic cyanobacterium Romeria elegans in waste stabilisation ponds (WSPs) within Angaston waste water treatment plant (WWTP) has posed an unprecedented treatment challenge for the local water utility. The water from the WSPs is chlo... Read More about Treatment challenge of a cyanobacterium Romeria elegans bloom in a South Australian wastewater treatment plant: a case study..

This study focussed on the fate of cyanobacteria cells and associated metabolites during the sludge management processes that follow the conventional drinking water treatment train. The topic is of importance, as the release of metabolites during slu...
