Dreissenid mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena bugensis) are typically cited as troublesome invasive biofoulers, but their high productivity and filtration capacity offer promise for water quality management. Described here is a design that has evaluated the potential for flow-through mussel filters to clear bioavailable contamination from effluents before discharge. Fine resuspended natural sediments (to which many pollutants readily adsorb) were intercepted by a cascading series of three 16 l filters with a residence time of less than 10 mintank-1. The inexpensive design cleared up to 96% of suspended particles, and allowed removal of mussels and pseudofaeces as needed. More than 80% of particle interception resulted from mussel filtering, with little attributed to blockage by the apparatus and/or mussel shells. Scale-up, treatment and disposal of by-products, and practical filter applications are recommended. |
