Technologies for Sidestream Nitrogen Removal

Abstract

Reviews technologies which treat nutrient-rich industrial wastewaters and recycle streams (“sidestream”) generated by the dewatering of digested municipal sludges, animal manures, and source separated wastes, focusing on treatment technologies for the removal and recovery of nitrogen. Includes a brief description of the general principles of biological and physical/chemical processes. Published by WERF. 110 pages. Online PDF. (2015)

Originally funded as WERF project NUTR1R06w.
