The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) has been tasked to investigate potential methods for the long-term removal/treatment of algae in wastewater storage ponds located in a desert area of southern California. At the facility, two pondswith a combined surface area of 47.3 acres and a total volume of 236.5 acre-feet will require algae control. Current flow through the ponds is 1.25 million gallons per day average with a peak flow of 2.0 million gallons per day. Water from these ponds is currently being recycled for irrigation. Excessive algae growth in the ponds has caused a failure of the irrigation water treatment facility. Any method whether biological, chemical or physical in nature, which removes algae from the ponds or treats the water such that algae growth is minimized will be considered. Respondents should provide the following information about their algae removal/treatment process: name/address of company, company point-of contact with phone/fax number (email address if available), narrative description of process, a process flow diagram, treatment capacity in pounds of algae per day and previous experience with algae removal/treatment. In the process narrative, NFESC is particularly interested any information relating to technological improvements which will lower operation and maintenance costs. It is requested that all proprietary information that is not to be disseminated in government documents be clearly identified. All information must be mailed to: Department of the Navy, CBC Code 27165 Bldg 41, 1000 23rd Avenue, Port Hueneme, CA 93043-4301. Deadline for receipt of information is may 29, 1998. (0120)
