Evaluation of the City of Venice Urban Reuse Program
The City of Venice is located on the Gulf of Mexico in west central Florida. With a mild sub-tropical climate and coastal location, the small community is a prime target for rapid development....
EPA Guidelines for Water Reuse
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Agency for International Development are cosponsoring preparation of water reuse guidelines. The guidelines are being developed to...
Inside the Manhole: New Design on a Leaky Link
Wastewater collection systems represent a major investment for every community, not only in capital dollars, but also in the well-being of community members. Though sanitary sewer manholes...
Navy Targets Effective Infiltration/Inflow Elimination
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), Chesapeake Division, retained the services of RJN Environmental Associates, Inc. to perform a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES)....
Environmentally Sustainable Development: A Concept in Action
Environmentally sustainable development denotes a balanced approach with appropriate consideration for environmental protection. The successes achieved in the development of five diverse...
Propositions for Packed Bed Adsorption Reactor Design
This paper states ten propositions which describe the behavior of 'wave fronts', i.e., adsorbate concentration versus distance profiles at given elapsed times,...
Toxicity Bioassay Using Nitrifying Bacteria
Monitoring water quality by the use of toxicity bioassay was studied with respect to the interrelationship between nitrifying activities, ammonium and inorganic compounds. Differential...
Toxicity Bio-Assays, 5-Day BOD and
This article revisits some of the basic definitions of toxicity bioassays and 5-day BOD and questions the the precision of these measuements and the long duration of these tests....
Screening Level Modeling in Support of an Estuarine Toxics Management Program
Mathematical models will be used in the future to determine maximum allowable pollutant loading rates for several toxics to the South San Francisco Bay Estuary. This project consisted...
Evaluation of
This paper examines the potential application of in-situ bio-dentrification as well as pertinent physical and biochemical factors that control the process to reduce nitrate in groundwater...
Integrated Management of Sugarcane Mill Wastewater for Bioenergy Production and Drip Irrigation
Based on the previous work of wastewater characterization and relevant literature review, a combined anaerobic (UASB) and aerobic (EAFB) treatment of supernatant of settled sugarcane mill...
Reuse of an Industrial Wastewater at Saturn
The cooling tower at General Motor's Saturn Plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee will produce blowdown wastewater at rates as high as 500,000 gallons (1893 m3/day)....
Nonpotable Reuse: Development of Water Quality Criteria for Shower Water Recycle
Shower wastewaters at a military installation have been characterized in terms of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. Two treatment technologies, microfiltration and coagulation...
Salinity Problems Associated with Reuse Water Irrigation on Southwestern Golf Courses
One of the most severe of the potential reuse water quality problems is salinity. While many water supplies in the southwest have relatively high total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations,...
Adsorption of Lindane onto Whole Soil and Soil Organic Fractions
The work presented here investigated interactions of the subject pesticide with whole soil and select soil organic fractions and evaluated the commonly applied assumptions that adsorption...
Development of a Sorbent for Removal of Nonionic Pollutants from Water
Sorption of anionic surfactants onto mineral oxides and, and the subsequent partitioning of non-ionic organic substance into the organic phase of these synthetic sorbents was studied....
Managing Water Treatment Residuals
The ASCE Task Committee on Water Treatment Plant Residuals conducted an informal survey of state and federal agencies to collect data regarding the regulation of drinking water treatment...
Impact of Proposed Radon Drinking Water Regulations on Groundwater Systems in California
This summer, the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to propose a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 300 pCi/l for radon in drinking water. This anticipated MCL, if adopted, will...
Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion: A Two-Year Appraisal of Canadian Facilities
Full scale, autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) facilities were constructed or upgraded in 1988 to demonstrate high temperature aerobic digestion of municipal sludges at...
Pilot-scale Trickling Filter Nitrification at the Longmont WWTP
Nitrification rates in trickling filters can be affected by influent organic matter, filter length, and hydraulic loading rate. The effects of these parameters on nitrification rate were...
