Strategic Asset Management and Communication: Gaining Public Support - Experience with Citizen Advisory Committees
Public understanding leading to support for investment in aging water infrastructure is absolutely essential in order to close the “gap” between projected and current funding levels. In response...
Impact of Silver Nanoparticles on Wastewater Treatment
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs, nanosilver) are a frequently used nanomaterial with a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, including fiber coating, detergents, and hydrogels and...
Evaluation of Processes to Reduce Activated Sludge Solids Generation and Disposal
This project will deal with a number of aspects of WAS-only-reduction technologies for both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment applications. The objectives of this project include the...
Development of a Microbial Fuel Cell for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment
Microbial Fuel Cells (MiFCs) are a promising renewable energy technology, but suffer from low power densities which hinder their practical applicability. In this work, flame deposited, carbon...
MBR Book, 2nd Edition
A Membrane BioReactor (MBR) is the combination of a membrane process (e.g. microfiltration/ ultrafiltration) with a suspended growth bioreactor. When used with domestic wastewater, MBR processes...
Protocol to Evaluate Alternative External Carbon Sources for Denitrification at Full-Scale Wastewater Treatment Plants
Addition of external carbon to biological nutrient removal processes to enhance denitrification to meet more stringent effluent nitrogen limits (e.g., total nitrogen < 3 to 6 mg/L) has become...
Nutrient Management: Regulatory Approaches to Protect Water Quality
Utilities work with regulators to treat wastewater to levels that protect human health and ecosystems. Water quality criteria and permits are based on scientifically defensible and shared...
Technology Roadmap for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment Plants in a Carbon-Constrained World
Resources end up in wastewater through inefficient consumption. As a result, wastewater contains reusable water, carbon (energy) and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur) that could be...
Energy Efficiency in Wastewater Treatment in North America: A Compendium of Best Practices and Case Studies of Novel Approaches
After manpower, energy is the highest operating cost item for most the wastewater utilities. Over the last decade, the implementation of new technologies to meet new effluent limits and water...
