Abstract
The growth of algae in high rate oxidation ponds is limited by the availability of light. The effect of light on productivity is influenced by temperature. Furthermore, for optimal productivity the population density of the culture has to be controlled and mixing has to be optimised as well. Algae in HROPs are generally not carbon limited, and probably use both inorganic carbon and organic carbon. In order to maintain stable cultures the amount of total ammonium need to be controlled, and this is affected, in part by the total organic loading. Furthermore, the pond system has to be managed so that the effects of predators and pathogens is minimised.
