“Marshing Forward” Despite Uncertainty: How EPA Researchers Are Reframing Approaches To Coastal Climate Adaptation Efforts
Among other functions, salt marshes provide breeding grounds and food sources for coastal wildlife, absorb excess carbon from the atmosphere, filter rainwater, protect coastlines from erosion, help ensure the health of our nation’s fishing economy, and promote ecotourism. With salt marshes becoming increasingly vulnerable, EPA scientists are evaluating both the scientific methodology and management practices behind coastal restoration projects.

Historic Town Remedies FOG Problem
Among the pump stations managed by Branford, CT, is a long-term problematic station located at Burban Street. There were two primary problems at this station: 1) clogging from modern day trash and raggy, stringy materials, and 2) fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from a nearby nursing home and restaurants, which accumulate and float on the water surface, resulting in a horrendous mess.

Nitrogen-Reduction Treatment Systems For Long-Term Operations
The need for of nitrogen-reducing wastewater treatment systems has become more common in the past few decades due to various environmental concerns, including eutrophication, oxygen depletion, and toxicity to aquatic organisms in lakes and streams. The addition of nitrogen removal to any wastewater treatment plant, new or existing, typically increases the costs of the project significantly. When evaluating suitable technologies, it becomes critical to properly identify processes that can not only proved the best upfront capital value but also provide the most sustainable long-term functionality.

Reduce SBR Maintenance Costs With Jet Aeration
Aeration has been a primary method for treating municipal and industrial wastewater for over a century. It is a natural way to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD) and control odors. In the SBR process, aeration helps foster nitrification by bubbling air through the mixture of wastewater and activated sludge, encouraging the multiplication of aerobic microbes which consume nutrients and convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates.
LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER
-
In areas with storm drains, the water can quickly overwhelm the drains, causing flooding hazards. For this reason, many towns have ordinances dictating how much ground can be covered with impermeable substrates.
-
Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.
-
Strategic flow monitoring helps wastewater utilities curb overflows, cut costs, and safeguard public health by turning accurate data into proactive action.
-
When seeking bids for a fair comparison, it’s important to evaluate the total cost of ownership.
-
Researchers have developed polyimide-based membranes for membrane distillation (MD) that overcome three persistent issues in membranes for water treatment and gas separations: the need for pore-forming chemicals that prevent recycling, performance degradation due to pore wetting and fouling, and the inherent trade-off between high water flux and selectivity.
