Liquid 5.0 Proactive HAB Control That Protects Source Water & Cuts Operational Costs
Switch from reactive copper algaecides to selective GreenClean Liquid 5.0. See how Veolia suppressed cyanobacteria early, achieved 60% higher beneficial organism survival, and delivered major operational savings in a real Northeastern drinking water reservoir.
Why Copper Treatments Create Ongoing Challenges for Utilities
- Repeated applications with limited longevity
- Harm to beneficial green algae and phytoplankton
- Increased filter backwashes and high maintenance costs
- Persistent toxin and/or taste & odor issues raising compliance pressure
GreenClean Liquid 5.0
Selective PAA for Cyanobacteria Control
GreenClean Liquid 5.0 uses peroxyacetic acid (PAA) to quickly and selectively control cyanobacteria while minimizing impact on beneficial phytoplankton, keeping water quality higher before it gets to the treatment plant.
Key Advantages
Selective cyanobacteria control that supports a healthier, more balanced aquatic ecosystem, leading to better water from the treatment process.
Proven Results
- Rapid Suppression within Days (lab+satellite data)
- 60% Increase in Beneficial Organism Survival
- 78.7% Less Activated Carbon Used
- 34% Less Polymer Coagulant Used
- 18% less liquid oxygen addition
