Municipal Lagoon systems are often challenged withfacilitating nitrification. Nitrifying bacteria are responsiblefor removing ammonia from wastewater. These organismsare generally in low abundance in lagoon processes for a fewreasons; [1] nitrification is an...

The F:M in the wastewater treatment network at aNational Park in Wyoming was optimal from July –October. There was consistent organic carbon loadingduring this time from tourist activities. However, whenthe park closed for the winter, the biomass declineddue to...

Many wastewater systems experiencing high infiltrationand inflow (I&I) have issues with hydraulic overloadingwhich impacts biomass stability. I&I can impair thecapacity of the wastewater collection system andwastewater treatment infrastructure.1Increased flows...

Wastewater treatment plants receiving inconsistentinfluent loads are often challenged with maintainingan effective biological treatment. Many of the keymicroorganisms in wastewater processes are dependenton organic substrate to grow and divide. When influentflows are...

In many resort towns, the influent loads to thewastewater treatment system are highly variablethroughout the year. During the tourist seasons there isan abundance of wastewater to sustain the biomass attreatment facilities, but when the transient populationleaves,...

Wastewater systems located in regions with high annual precipitation, such as the Pacific Northwest, are prone to experiencing biological washouts due to high infiltration and inflow (I&I) from collection systems. I&I can critically disrupt the biological...
