It is very difficult to suggest what specie/s of algae can be used for wastewater treatment. There are over 300,000 algae species. Each wastewater treatment has specific characteristics and they have to be matched and studied with the wastewater you wish to remediate.
We are in the process of setting up the first MAST Technology wastewater treatment facility in Lucknow, U.P. There are several wastewater treatment facilities world over that use algae to bioremediate the wastewater.
We will be setting up several facilities. Our approach will be to use Photobioreactors instead of HRAPs, which is the convention. Our treatment will be in line with conversion of the biomass into value added products.

Great work. Photo bioreactors will increase the efficiency of algal growth and hence the removal of contaminants. You can set the conditions accordingly for the factors such as agitation, exposure time etc. I wish I could be a part of your project.
