Water Environment Research Article Examines The Development And Implementation Of A Novel Sulfur Removal Process From H2S Containing Wastewaters

The open access article for the July 2015 issue of Water Environment Research (WER) examines a novel process for removing sulfur from wastewater containing dissolved sulfide. The pilot study that led to the development was conducted at the Gippsl and Water Factory, an industrial wastewater treatment facility, in Victoria, Australia.

According to WER Editor-in-Chief Tim Ellis, “the pilot study examined the performance of a membrane bioreactor removing elemental sulfur from pulp and paper effluent. The authors found that efficient sulfur removal was obtained through dissolved oxygen control which also facilitated enhanced biological phosphorus removal.”

Selected WER articles such as this one are available free to the public on a monthly basis through an open-access program.
