Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water treatment equipment, and in particular to an algae removal agent dosing device. Background Technology

[0002] Algal blooms are a typical manifestation of eutrophication in water bodies, primarily caused by the large input of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus due to human activities. Urban water bodies, with their small carrying capacity and high levels of pollutants, are more prone to eutrophication, leading to algal blooms. These blooms not only deplete oxygen in the water and cause fish mortality, but the algal toxins produced during decomposition (such as microcystins) also threaten drinking water safety. Currently, algal bloom control mainly relies on physical, chemical, and biological methods. Traditional physical methods are inefficient and costly, while biological methods focus on long-term prevention. Chemical algaecides (such as copper sulfate) and modified clay algaecides can effectively treat algal blooms in emergencies, but applying these agents still requires considerable manpower, and clay-based algaecides tend to settle, negatively impacting application. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an algaecide dosing device that enables rapid, large-scale spraying of algaecides without the need for pre-buried pipes or spraying equipment, allowing operation entirely from the shore, thus reducing the application cost and manpower required for algaecides.
