Elevated stringency regarding discharges and an aging asset base represent challenges to modern wastewater treatment. This requires upgrade of existing wastewater assets for low energy nutrient removal for minimal cost. ...

The aim of this experimental work was to directly compare the performance of two types of media support in pilot scale biological aerated filter (BAF) reactors. The two media types were identical in shape and size except ...

The biomineralisation mechanisms of five known bio-struvite producing microbes have been established and their ability to recover said biomineral from synthetic solutions and sludge dewatering liquors has been trialled. ...

Struvite production mediated by bacteria has opened a new route for phosphorus (P) recovery but its application to wastewater sludge dewatering liquors (SDL) has not yet been explored. The aim of this PhD was to understand ...

Investigations on two small pilot-scale biological aerated filters operating in upflow and downflow mode using identical media were undertaken in order to compare their performance for the removal of carbonaceous matter ...
