I have one extra ticket someone can have for free. I forgot my fiance wasn’t able to go so if you need one let me know

Howdy yall, this question is for my water plant operators who also have plate settlers in their sedimentation basins.

Algae. We’ve just put our new basin in with 4 stage flocculation and plate settlers at the end of our basin. We’ve been running about 12MGD through this basin until our governing body approves our exception to run 21MGD. The basin has been in about a month now, and within that month we have had a good bit of algae growth on the settles themselves on the very top. I’m assuming this is going to start causing some flow issues or, with the increased flow, settled and filtered turbidity issues with the algae being forced out and into the filters.

For those that have plate settlers, have you experienced this as well? What have you done to combat the algae growth? Thanks all!

Watching ONCY this morning/week. Their CEO had a big deal with another ticker that sold to Johnson & Johnson for $2b. Also some fast track designation from the FDA. Just wondering if anyone else is watching too? Thoughts?
