High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAPs) can provide economical and efficient near tertiary-level wastewater (WW) treatment, with the nutrients recovered as algal biomass. HRAP performance can be negatively affected by the establishment of zooplankton grazers that can consume much of the algal biomass within a...
