Popis: A knowledge of the science of microbiology is essential to a well rounded experience of a water plant chemist. Such a knowledge is much to be desired and striven for but the science cannot be learned in a day. To be able to recognize the many different kinds of algae and prescribe a remedy for their eradication requires special training combined with much practical laboratory work. The plant operator who is having his first experience with microorganisms in impounded water does not have the time to investigate the entire field of microbiology before prescribing a remedy for his trouble. He wants to know, first of all, a quick relief for his trouble, one that will give immediate results, leaving the more scientific study and research for leisure time. One effective treatment for controlling microorganisms is by the use of copper sulphate. The Spartanburg Water Works experienced considerable trouble with algae when the new filtration was put in operation in 1926.
