High Impact Lagoon Optimization with Microalgae and Electrocoagulation | CRWA SERIES | EP 5
Scott Powell of Powell Water Systems talks with Nathan Yang about pairing electrocoagulation and microalgae to treat wastewater in lagoon systems.
In this CRWA Series episode of Engineers for Communities, Nathan Yang talks with Scott Powell about solutions for lagoon systems. Scott explains how electrocoagulation and microalgae can work together in a lagoon. He also covers why these methods matter for water treatment in small municipalities.
Guest
Scott Powell joins from Powell Water Systems Inc. and Lagoon Logistics, LLC. Nathan Yang hosts.
In this episode
- Why pairing electrocoagulation with microalgae makes a strong lagoon treatment process.
- How electricity cleans water, as Scott explains it, by converting heavy metals from ionic forms to sand and bursting bacteria.
- How combining electrocoagulation with other settling technologies improves treatment results.
- Where state approvals stand, and how they could open the door to wider use.
- Other contaminants the technology can treat beyond lagoons.
