Removal
Ways to remove Zebra mussels:
Chemical Molluscicides: Oxidizing (chlorine, chlorine dioxide) and Non-oxidizing
Manual Removal (pigging, <-- high pressure wash)
Dewatering/Desiccation (freezing, heated air)
Thermal (steam injection, hot water 32oC)
Acoustical Vibration
Electrical Currents
Filters, Screens
Coatings: Toxic (copper, zinc) and Non-toxic (silicone-based)
Toxic Constructed Piping (copper, brass, galvanized metals)
CO2 Injection
Ultraviolet Light
Anoxia/Hypoxia
Flushing
Biological (predators, parasites, diseases)
