How can we prevent the formation of algae or microorganisms in water storage tanks for fire protection due to the water being stagnant?

We're talking about closed reservoirs, right?

As indicated by Pete, algae should normally not be an issue with closed water tanks (unless the problem is coming from the water supply upstream your tank...). 12/15/2020 01:41:26 pm
We were faced with a similar problem caused by legislation in South Africa and tying in to potable water irrespective of the tank being closed. It was a possible hazard identified during a Hazardous Operability Study. An additional problem was that the water system fed a micro spray system requiring an extremely fine mist. The product reacted to water and light. Problem solved. We installed a dosing system to treat the water in the tank. 12/15/2020 11:06:27 pm
There are GRP Based Sectional/Panel Tanks rated to prevent algae growth by being 100% opaque and listed by well known third party agencies , WRAS certified and usage of SS 316 fittings provide storage of water with desirable quality. Leave a Reply. |
