NUTRIENT REMOVAL RESOURCES

• Case Study: Flat Creek Water Recovery Facility

  In this case study, learn about a city that worked with ChartWater™ to provide emergency, supplemental oxygenation using BlueInGreen’s supersaturated dissolved oxygen (SDOX®) technology.

• AquaNereda Provides The Lowest Total Cost Of Ownership For 10x Capacity Increase And Nutrient Removal Limits

  The Wolcott Wastewater Treatment Plant in Kansas City chose the AquaNereda technology for its capacity and cost benefits. The system improved nutrient removal and met permit requirements.

• Solutions In Bloom: How Flowers Are Being Used To Clean Up Polluted Waterways

  Pollution and microplastics float down waterways that treatment plants have to manage. Alongside these contaminants are drifting flowers that clear aquatic habitats. Recent research shows they could be an organic method for removing phosphorus and nitrogen.

• Innovative Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants: A Sustainable Solution For Manufacturers

  Stricter effluent regulatory standards and a continued focus on sustainability by industrial companies demands innovative treatment solutions. These solutions include innovative modular industrial wastewater treatment plants that assist manufacturers in meeting these treatment standards in the most environmentally friendly way.
• Cyanobacteria's Game Of Blooms: Fast Track Or Endurance Run?

  Just like humans have the freedom to make life choices, cyanobacteria also possess their own unique survival strategies. Groundbreaking research conducted by Griffith University's Australian Rivers Institute unveils the fascinating world of cyanobacteria and how they employ phosphorus storage to thrive.
• How An Algal Metabolic Hack Threatens Our Waters

  Algae's ability to adapt and thrive is bad news for U.S. waterways, highlighting the importance of preventative measures to stave off harmful algal blooms.
• Proactive WWTP Design And Innovation Improves Health Of Chesapeake Bay Watershed

  Read about the $568 million, decade-long upgrade of a Water Pollution Control Plant that would expand the plant’s capacity from 30 mgd to 40 mgd while also reducing nitrogen and phosphorous to the limit of technology.

• Orbal® System for Biological Nutrient Removal

  Discover how a fast-growing community's new WWTP meets new tighter limits on ammonia, phosphorus, and nitrogen for future growth.

• When Density Is Desirable

  Infrastructure intensification through densification and granulation can help utilities meet nutrient management goals with minimal investment through retrofit.

• Sustainable Clarification In Food And Beverage Operations

  Companies within the food & beverage industry generate significant quantities of wastewater each day. For example, a 16 oz. can of beer is about 90-95% water; however, to make that can, beer producers utilize approximately 7 times this quantity. About 2/3 to 3/4 of the water is typically discharged as wastewater to a municipal sewer system.

• To Reduce Harmful Algal Blooms And Dead Zones, The U.S. Needs A National Strategy For Regulating Farm Pollution

  Midsummer is the time for forecasts of the size of this year’s “dead zones” and algal blooms in major lakes and bays. Will the Gulf of Mexico dead zone be the size of New Jersey, or only as big as Connecticut? Will Lake Erie’s bloom blossom to a human health crisis, or just devastate the coastal economy?

• Biotechnology Innovations Extend Life, Resilience Of Wastewater Infrastructure

  In the daily rush to ensure that all the mechanical, electrical, and operational procedures are followed — monitoring inflow volumes and organic/nutrient loads; servicing and maintaining motors, pumps, and other electrical and mechanical equipment; maintaining chemical treatments to ensure effluent compliance — it is too easily forgotten that wastewater treatment is primarily a biological process.

• EPA Researchers Develop Tool That Helps Water Quality Managers Meet Nutrient Load Targets

  Nutrient pollution is one of America’s most widespread, costly, and challenging environmental problems. This pollution can occur when excess amounts of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, run off from land into streams, rivers, lakes, and other water sources. To help water quality managers reduce nutrient pollution, EPA researchers developed the River Basin Export Reduction Optimization Support Tool (RBEROST), a regional online tool currently available for the Upper Connecticut River Basin that provides low-cost solutions to meet nutrient load targets.

• Community Wastewater Treatment Options Expand With Decentralized Treatment Approaches

  Sometimes conventional wastewater treatment solutions won’t work for a given application, and sometimes a nonconventional approach is simply the better choice for high-quality, cost-effective performance.
