Algal Nutrient Removal During Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

This report provides a comprehensive evaluation of the use of encapsulated algae as a means for nutrient removal in treated wastewater effluent with the goal to optimize algal growth in reactors designed for wastewater treatment by deploying encapsulated algae in bioreactors to enhance nutrient removal. Published by WERF. 90 pages. Online PDF. (2015)

Originally funded as WERF project U4R10.
