ECOWATER INNOVA TREATMENTS IN DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS
The invasive mussel has reached drinking water distribution networks through treatment and collection systems in many cities in Europe and North America. The greatest risk is found in those localities that are supplied by collecting water from the river or through reservoirs. We can also extrapolate this problem to Brazil.
At present there is no concrete data on this potential incidence. The measures taken so far have not been enough to end this serious problem. The ECOWATER INNOVA method used by ECOWATER TECHNOLOGIES in several treatment plants gave positive and long lasting results. ACTIVE AND PASSIVE INHIBITORSThe result of 4 years of field trials and treatments in different open and closed systems, the ECOWATER INNOVA method is the safest control treatment against invasive bivalves in the market.
The method is based on 5 coordinated actions: Detection and Evaluation Surface protection Removal of larvae Mortality in adult settlements and colonies in reservoirs, pipelines and pipelines Monitoring and Maintenance The products and equipment used are specially designed to protect submerged infrastructures against scale of any type of aquatic organism. They are not biocides. They are not chemicals or toxic. With a half-life of 5 years, ECOWATER INNOVA is the only product on the market capable of offering a solution against larvae, fixing L.fortunei juveniles and any kind of algae on submerged surfaces without affecting the body of water and other species waterfowl |
The main condition in any method of controlling L. fortunei in drinking water treatment infrastructure is the SAFETY of treatment as a whole for the health of people.
Another condition is the PROTECTION OF INFRASTRUCTURES that are treated against corrosive processes. Finally, the AVERAGE LIFE DURATION of the treatments used. Achieving these goals using standard products is next to impossible. ECOWATER INNOVA incorporates state-of-the-art technology that meets these requirements |
