Abstract: An aerobic fluidized bed reactor process with internal media cleaning to control attached biomass thickness was developed. Biomass control was achieved by the periodic creation of a turbulent zone within a specially designed ...

Abstract: The United States relies on technology. To continue the development of new and the expansion of existing technologies requires a strong background in science, math, and engineering. Because students are falling behind in ...

Abstract: This study demonstrates the feasibility of treating storm water contaminated with airport deicing fluid (ethylene glycol) in a batch-loaded aerobic fluidized bed reactor. In addition, the removal rates were measured for ...

Abstract: Several food processors use land application to treat process wastewater. Excessive organic and hydraulic loadings can result in environmental harm through surface water runoff and groundwater contamination. A recently ...

Abstract: The United States produces significant quantities of waste biomass from wastewater treatment, food production, food services, and landscape and wood debris. This waste contains essential resources, including water, carbon, ...

Abstract: The objective of this research was to develop an efficient method to compare approaches to convert biosolids from water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) to renewable energy. The emphasis was on collecting data to conduct ...
