ALGAL TURF SCRUBBER PILOT PROJECT: EVALUATING NUTRIENT REMOVAL AND BIOFUEL POTENTIAL

摘要

Jamaica Bay is impaired by high nutrient loadings associated with limited tertiary treatment in the wastewater treatment plants discharging to the estuary. Tertiary treatment through physical and chemical or alternate microbial processes is widely used but costly to implement and can be variable in its performance (Randall et at, 1990). Alternative ecologically engineered nutrient removal technologies are emerging as cost effective methods to achieve water quality goals.
