In this informative webinar, Seth Donrovich, Zequanox Product Manager for Marrone Bio Innovations, will discuss Zequanox and how it is a solution for the invasive mussel problem. Specific topics to be addressed include:

  • The proliferation of Invasive mussels - a multi-billion dollar problem 

  • Brief comparison of Zequanox to alternative control methods

  • Customizing the control program – full control or maintenance

  • Proven success – case histories in the US and Canada

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • Is there any risk of zebra and quagga mussels developing resistance to Zequanox?

  • Is Zequanox effective for controlling biofouling organisms?

  • If we have water inlet obstruction due to mussels, how long does it take for Zequanox to eliminate the mussel infestation?

  • Are you providing a turnkey solution including dosing equipment, installation, etc.?

  • Can you visibly see veliger stage mussels floating in water? Are there specific spawning periods, or do mussels spawn whenever water temperatures are suitable?

  • For the dose and hold process, how do you ensure the system reaches the required concentration? What methods are used for analysis of this product?

  • What effect will Zequanox have on native mussels?

  • Can you provide examples of successful control in water treatment facilities, especially around intake structures?

  • What is the molecular mode of action (MOA) of Zequanox? Why is CL145 chosen?

  • Is Zequanox approved for use in treating drinking water facilities in Canada? What are the permitting requirements in the USA for similar use?
