Researchers have developed a simplified, sustainable method of converting sewage sludge from wastewater treatment into high-value activated carbon that can be used in a wide range of industrial and ...

The efficient running of wastewater treatment plants is an essential part of modern society. Just like humans, wastewater treatment plants can get sick, due to viral attacks. Now, new research from ...

A global study expands the understanding of activated sludge microbiomes for next-generation wastewater treatment and reuse systems enhanced by microbiome engineering. Wastewater treatment and reuse ...

In this study biokinetic and microbial growth coefficients for nitrate versus oxygen respiration in the activated sludge process were evaluated and compared. Two bench-scale activated sludge units ...

The primary factor controlling the performance of an activated sludge process is separation of sludge solids from the effluent in the secondary sedimentation tank. Unfortunately, too many people in ...
