Nitrification in Water Hyacinth Treatment Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Factors affecting the nitrification rate in post‐secondary water hyacinth treatment systems are investigated. Parameters studied include ammonia concentration, dissolved oxygen concentration, and system mixing. The ...
Offline Bioregeneration of Granular Activated Carbon
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The feasibility of an offline biological regeneration (OBR) process for granular activated carbon is investigated. A predictive model is presented and validated with data collected from bench‐scale experiments. Based on ...
Impact of Calcium Magnesium Acetate Road Deicer on POTW Operation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recently, calcium magnesium acetata (CMA) was identified by the Federal Highway Administration as a potentially suitable, noncorrosive road deicer substitute for sodium and calcium chloride. Research on the environmental ...
Mitigation of Biological Process Upsets Caused by Organic Inhibitors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A laboratory investigation was conducted to determine the relative importance of the physiological state of the reactor population and biomass concentration on mitigating short-term toxic shocks. The studies were conducted ...
Effect of Oil on Polychlorinated Biphenyl Phase Partitioning during Land Biotreatment of Impacted Sediment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study evaluated the partitioning of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) during long-term, passive, land biotreatment of PCB-impacted industrial lagoon sediments. Over six years under field conditions, two land treatment ...
