Continuing Effort to Eliminate Odors at Orange County's Wastewater Treatment Plants
The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County (CSDOC), California own and operate two wastewater treatment plants. Reclamation Plant No. 1, in Fountain Valley, treats approximately...

Substrate Effects on Methanotrophic Trichloroethylene Degradation
Formate up to 1g/L had no significant enhancing effect on the degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) by three mixed enrichments of methane-oxidizing bacteria. Methanol did not enhance...

Degradation of 1-Naphthylamine by Activated Sludge Using Bioaugmentation
This paper presents the results of ongoing research using a novel bioaugmentation scheme for activated sludge (AS) treatment of trace levels of a hazardous compound (1-Naphthylamine, 1NA)....

The Ozone Layer: A Critical Analysis of the Management of Public Policy for Fluorocarbons
As environmental public policy becomes increasingly extensive it continues to have greater impact on the lives of each American. The management of the public policy formation process varies...

Magnetic Fluid Conditioning
Industry is now turning to develop magnetic water treatment in an effort to discontinue the use of chemicals. Magnetic water treatment takes a different approach to solving the same problem...

Vacuum Anaerobic Treatment: A New Approach
Anaerobic processes have an organic loading limit that when exceeded leads to process failure. The research summarized in this paper demonstrates that both organic removal rate enhancement...

Products of Chloramination in Dilute Aqueous Solution
Chloride and nitrate formation was determined in the reaction of chlorine with ammonia in molar excess, in dilute aqueous solution. Nitrate was formed under all conditions investigated....

Chemical Sludge Treatment?A Way of the Future
Recently, chemical treatment of municipal sludges has become an alternative to incineration, composting, and digestion. The commercial processes have evolved into three categories of chemical...

Degradation of Ortochlorophenol in Aerobic and Anoxic-Aerobic Processes
Removal of OCP in sequencing batch reactors was shown to be independent of the presence or lack of co-substrate and independent of SRT for fully aerated reactors. The reactors with an...

Mercury in Fish and Water in New Impoundments?A Review of the Literature
Evidence to date indicates that only one metal, mercury, systematically bioaccumulates to ecologically significant concentrations as a direct result of impoundment. This bioaccumulation...

In-Mine Hydroelectric Power Generating Station
Mines in the world are continually descending to greater depths in the search of mineral deposits. Water and energy usage are crucial to expansion. To help deal with this problem, Freeport...

Precision Lysimetry in France
After a definition of the parameters to be measured, a possible reasoning is presented for the construction of a weighing lysimeter. A number of factors have to be taken in account: the...

Heavy Metal Transport in the Columbia River, British Columbia
Data on the total forms of selected metals were used to assess their concentrations at two sampling sites on the Canadian Columbia River from 1984 to 1989. Cadmium, the response variable...

Influence of Soil and Sediment pH and Redox Conditions on Degradation of Toxic Organics
The presence of toxic organics in soil and sediments has raised concern over persistence and bioaccumulation. In the absence of oxygen, microbial degradation of toxic organics proceeds...

Measurements to Calibrate Suspended Sediment Model for Adsorbed Contaminant Transport Study of North Fork Holston River, Virginia
A daily suspended sediment (SS) and mercury transport model was developed for a 25-mile reach of the North Fork Holston River below Saltville, Virginia. Daily streamflow measurements;...

Nutrified Sludge
A new biological treatment process, Nutrification, enables a wastewater treatment plant to remove phosphorus from influent water at an operating and maintenance cost 35% less than that...

Mercury Behavior in a Wastewater Sludge Incineration Process
The Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) in Duluth, Minnesota utilizes solid waste as fuel to incinerate wastewater treatment sludge, conserving energy resources while reducing...

Pressure-Treated Wood Effect on Marina Environment
Pressure treated Southern Pine and Douglas Fir are the most commonly used materials for marina construction in the United States. The preservatives currently used, creosote, chromated...

Manhole Rehabilitation
Manholes are frequently the forgotten element in infrastructure renewal. When they aren't properly maintained they allow excess water into the sewer system, and structural...

Downtown in Soft Ground
Critchfield and MacDonald describe the shield excavation of twin bus tunnels 21.25 ft in diameter and 5,000 ft long as part of the Downtown Seattle Transit Project. This $450 million project,...
