Modeling Pollutant Fate and Transport in Constructed Wetlands
The Constructed Wetlands Fate and Aquatic Transport Evaluation Model (CWFATE) was developed to evaluate alternative design and operations of the constructed wetlands treatment system (CWTS)...

Miami International Airport Stormwater NPDES Plan
Miami International Airport (MIA) is endeavoring to essentially double its traffic volume by the turn of the century. This is a great challenge since the site is already highly developed....

Control of Odor and VOC Emissions at Wastewater Treatment Plants -Boston Harbor Case Study-
Siting of the new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) in Boston was based on an assumption of mitigation of total reduced sulfur (TRS)...

Quantification of the Mechanisms Controlling the Removal Rate of Volatile Contaminants by Air Sparging
Air sparging is a technology for removing dissolved and volatile phase chemicals (VOCs) from the saturated zone. It is used in conjunction with soil vapor extraction (SVE) and sometimes...

A Probability Based Approach to the Design and Operation of Soil Vapor Extraction Systems
Soil vapor extraction (SVE) or soil venting is related with Monte Carlo simulation of critical soil characteristics. The correlation yielded a probability based nomograph that may be utilized...

In Situ Treatment of VOCs by Recirculation Technologies
Confronted with contaminated land from the world wars and the postwar industrialization period, German researchers and practicing professionals have worked to develop processes for effective...

Emissions, Ambient Concentrations, and Potential Health Hazards of VOCs from Wastewater Treatment
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are yielded from wastewater treatment. The potential environmental and health hazards imposed by VOCs has only been recently determined. VOC emissions...

Effect of Roughness and Thickness of Biofilms on External Mass Transfer Resistance
The effect of roughness and thickness of biofilms on the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration boundary layer thickness (DO CBLT) and the external mass transfer process in a biofilm system...

Process Selection for Treatment of SOC Contaminated Waters
The most inexpensive method for treating synthetic organic chemical (SOC) contaminated wastewaters was studied. Air stripping, liquid-phase adsorption, fixed-film biological oxidation,...

Anaerobic Biodegradation of Chloroform under Methanogenic Conditions
The degradation of chloroform is studied for two different methanogenic cultures grown on acetate and methanol exclusively, as the primary substrates. In chemostats, chloroform was fed...

Effects of Molecular Oxygen and pH on the Adsorption of Aniline to Activated Carbon
This paper examines the influence of molecular oxygen and pH on the adsorption of aniline to F-300 Calgon Carbon. Molecular oxygen increased the adsorptive capacity of GAC for anilines...

Removal of Arsenic by Enhanced Coagulation and Membrane Technology
The U.S. EPA is promulgating a new MCL for arsenic based on epidemiology studies. The concern from the water industry is that the new MCL will be significantly lower than the current MCL...

Arsenic Removal Via Softening
The removal of arsenic during softening was investigated using synthetic solutions. Arsenic removal is facilitated by formation of a variety of solids including Mg(OH)₂,...

Arsenic Removal by Manganese Greensand Filters
Some of the small communities in Saskatchewan are expected to have difficulty complying with the new maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) of 25 ?g/L for arsenic. A test column was set...

Removal of Bromate After Ozonation by Electron Beam Irradiation
Drinking water regulations related to disinfection, disinfectant by-product (DBP) control, DBP precursor removal and contaminated source water pre-treatment will become increasingly stringent...

Contribution of Waterborne Radon to Home Air Quality
A controlled experiment was performed to explore the contribution of waterborne radon to home air quality and the effect of radon removal from a centralized water system on indoor radon...

Nation-Wide Bromide Occurrence and Bromate Formation Potential in Drinking Water Supplies
The average bromide concentration obtained in a survey of 101 nationwide drinking water utilities was almost 100 ?g/l. Whereas previous studies have targeted ozonation studies on waters...

Development of a Model for the ABF/AS Process
A modelling approach has been established for the activated biofiltration/activated sludge (ABF/AS) process. This approach indicates that ABF/AS systems can be considered as a variation...

Nitrification in Single-Stage Trickling Filters
An assessment of nitrification of municipal wastewater in trickling filters was performed using operating data from wastewater treatment facilities currently in operation. A survey of...

Modeling Full-Scale Diffused Aeration Systems
The purpose of this research was to show the direct relationship of the oxygen mass transfer coefficient (K_La_T)...
