Public Perception of Biosolids Recycling
This report provides an overview of the current public perception and public acceptance of biosolids recycling in North America. It provides conceptual models for understanding the development of...
Application of DNA Microarray Technology for Wastewater Analysis
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) microarrays are widely used for differential expression studies and for detection of virulence genes in pure bacterial cultures. Their use in complex microbial samples...
Producing Class A Biosolids With Low-Cost, Low-Technology Treatment Processes
Class A biosolids can be produced using low-cost, low-technology biosolids treatment processes including lagoon storage, air drying, and cake storage. This project reviewed the available...
Field Calibration and Verification of a Pathogen Transport Model
Outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis throughout the world, especially the massive outbreak in Milwakee in 1993 drew public attention to the quality of drinking water supplies and to the efficiency of...
Evaluating and Optimizing Source Treatment Technologies to Improve the Biodegradability of Organic Compounds
The main objective of this research was to investigate the capabilities of three chemical oxidation processes as pretreatment technologies with the goal of making wastewaters containing persistent...
Development of Molecular Methods for Detection of Infectious Viruses in Treated Wastewater
Enteroviruses, hepatitis A virus (HAV) and other enteric viruses can survive wastewater treatment processes, even after chlorination, and are found in the final effluents.
These viruses...
Water Auditing and Water Conservation
Water auditing is a method of quantifying water flows and quality in simple or complex systems, with a view to reducing water usage and often saving money on otherwise unnecessary water use. There...
A New Tool for Measuring Biosolids Floc Strength
The ability to measure sludge network strength is important in sludge dewatering applications because it can be used to determine optimum polymer dose for conditioning to achieve good...
Acclimation of Nitrifiers for Activated Sludge Treatment: A Bench Scale Evaluation
Nitrification kinetics were evaluated in bench-scale batch reactors fed with a synthetic wastewater containing approximately 1,000 mg ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N)/L operated at 5, 10, and 20...
