A S Harrison and Co is delighted to announce that it has established a dynamic partnership with AlgaEnviro, an organisation ready to provide a revolutionary new technology to keep your water healthy and to control existing algae that cause toxic blooms, floating scum, bad odours and prevent fish kills.
With this collaboration, we are joining forces with a company that shares our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Together, we aim to leverage our combined strengths and expertise to deliver cutting-edge products and solutions to our valued customers.
As a channel partner of AlgaEnviro, A S Harrison and Co is enthusiastic about the limitless possibilities this partnership offers. By combining our strengths and resources, we can collectively shape a more sustainable future, while providing our customers with exceptional quality and value.
We invite you to explore Diatomix™, a truly unique method for addressing algae blooms.
Undesirable algae blooms can be an expensive problem to solve. farm dams, water reservoirs, rivers, streams, aquaculture dams, irrigation channels, garden and council ponds, raw water supplies, wastewater treatment and effluent storages are amongst water sources that can be affected by algae blooms.
Diatomix™ is a liquid feed that enhances the growth of the ‘good algae’ – these are called diatoms. This diatom food contains Silica as well as Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Boron, Potassium, Molybdenum, Calcium and Cobalt. These are the micro-nutrients required by diatoms that are not always present in water in adequate quantities.
Diatomix™ promotes a healthy and problem free ecosystem. Our experience shows that prevention of Hyacinth, Azolla, filamentous algae, and toxic blue-green algae in the first instance is a better solution than it is to fix the problem.
Diatoms are interesting because they require silica to grow, and they make up a large part of the first plants in the Earth’s food chain. Diatomix™ is unique because it contains nano sized gels of silica, packed full of micro-nutrients to help diatoms grow.
The diatoms utilise the silica gels enriched with macro-nutrients so they can grow. The diatoms then outgrow the competing algae – which did not get the macro nutrient boost. This is one of the ways that the diatoms out-compete other algae and weeds and hence dominate and improve the water’s condition and appearance.
Product and customer insights
CHALLENGE A power plant relying on ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) faced a critical operational challenge. A wastewater treatment upset severely fouled the UF system, drastically reducing water production. Despite multiple cleaning attempts with sodium hypochlorite and citric acid, transmembrane pressure (TMP) remained high, and flux showed no improvement. The plant’s inability to meet […]
CHALLENGE A gold processing plant in New Zealand sought to improve gold recovery efficiency while addressing high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels. Elevated TOC increased the Preg-Robbing Factor (PRF), reducing the plant’s ability to efficiently recover gold during the Carbon-In-Leach (CIL) process. The traditional use of kerosene as a carbon blanking agent offered limited efficacy, […]
CHALLENGE A municipal water reuse plant processing 8 million gallons per day (MGD) experienced severe fouling and scaling issues, including calcium phosphate and silica deposits. With steep feed pressure increases and differential pressures in both stages, the plant required frequent cleanings every 4 to 6 weeks, amounting to 32 cleanings annually. Each cleaning cycle resulted […]
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
CHALLENGE A municipal reverse osmosis (RO) plant on Florida’s west coast, with a 20 MGD capacity, faced high operational costs due to its reliance on 93% sulfuric acid for pH adjustment. The plant used a combination of a brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) membranes and fiberglass-wrapped membranes across 10 trains, each operating at 75% recovery. […]
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
CHALLENGE A municipal reverse osmosis (RO) plant, with a capacity of 2 million gallons per day (MGD), faced frequent system cleanings, every 2-4 months, due to rising feed pressure. The plant, which sources water from brackish wells and uses Toray TMG-20D-400 membranes in a (16×7) -> (8×7) train configuration, was operating at 78% recovery. Despite […]
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
