Algae Count - Phytoplankton - Trends on the Oman Coast

Dear All

I am looking for published literature and reliable sources which can provide me sea water quality data especially for algae count, turbidity and other suspended matter experienced by SWRO plants operating on the coast of Oman.

Please give me leads to collect such data.

Best Regards

Anvar Mansuri

1. Dear Anvar, The RO plant (as opposed to the Thermo Plant) at Fujairah UAE, just north of Oman had to deal with that influent water quality and I am sure Veolia Paris would have  comprehensive data on the subject water quality. They put a DAF plant up front there (after screening) to ameliorate the load on the Rapid Gravity Dual Media filters. Hope this helps.

2. Turbidity varies according to seasons and weather. Coastal waters are most turbid when rivers carry a lot of soil materials into estuaries or strong winds cause resuspension. In the open sea areas, water turbidity is mainly affected by algal abundance. There are plenty of reference you can browse through, please.

3. Dear Anvar, sorry I have not done any work in the coast of Oman so far, yet the attached papers might shade some light since the Red Sea and East Mediterranean are in the region. Have a great 2022. Avner
